Produced from purchased grapes—as opposed to must—the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières bursts with aromas of pear, peach, white flowers, toast and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's fleshy and gourmand, with lively acids and a chalky finish.

The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatières has a crisp, citric bouquet that neatly carries the 50% new oak. The palate is well defined, but does not quite have the finesse and delineation that I was expecting on the finish…at least at the moment, hence my parsimonious score.

One of the larger-scaled wines in this lineup of 2011s, Boillot’s 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres boasts gorgeous volume and amplitude buffered by generous, vibrant minerality. The Folatieres impresses for its overall balance and sense of harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (Not yet released) Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it’s hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.
