Burgundy; Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, France
(91-93; Drink 2026-31)

Not a compromised/oxidized bottle like our prior, we're doing great tonight! Ripe white peach and cooled yellow apple slices .🤤

Paired to duck confit (D'Artagnan) over green/red lentils with a hit of Dijon mustard to get the acid balance to perfection.

Mildly acceptable, I'm not looking for caramel or oxidized apple notes in Les Folatières...oak is too prominent. We'll see if subsequent bottles on this vintage show equally.
Decanted 2H.

The wine is sweet. Slightly oaked, good minerality

2005. Gotta love a white that smells like pork lard. Next time I'm pairing it with refried beans.
