Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières François Carillon 2018 is a Premier Cru Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune. Les Folatières is the largest Premier Cru in the village, situated on limestone soils that provide a blend of power and aromatic lift. The wine features flavours of yellow peach, citrus and white flowers. François Carillon employs traditional vinification with maturation in oak barrels to create a textured palate balanced by a mineral backbone. It displays the classic elegance and length associated with this reputable vineyard.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru does not quite have the breeding of terroir-expression of Olivier Leflaive's Folatières, a little more extract here, peach skin and light waxy aromas coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with a concentrated opening, a little honeyed in texture, moderate acidity but it does not offer the precision of the aforementioned Leflaive on the finish. Drink over the next 10 to 12 years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. Neal Martin22nd November 2022
