"The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatières from Domaine des Lambrays was showing very well at the time of my visit, offering up a ripe and vibrant nose of almond, white peach, apple, chalky soil tones, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very well balanced, with sound framing acids, good focus and grip, a lovely core and a long, classy and wide open finish. This will drink very well from release, but has the balance to also age quite gracefully."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
2017 in Burgundy delivered generous yields and fresh, elegant wines; the whites are especially fine, bright and precise, while the reds are charming, supple and aromatic, drinking well relatively early.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
