Jean-Louis Chavy
Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
A faultless bottle albeit a bit too cold. Lemon zest, beeswax. Once it warmed up it showed ripe grapefruit and a hint of pear. Very bright, lively and mineral - a lovely Folatiers from Chavy. In Hobart for Christmas Eve.

Dec 6th, 2020When you’re in the smoke (London), white burgs are front and center. @David L, @Bill Bender, @Shay A, @Mike R, @Joe Lucca, @Carl Fischer, @Eric LaMasters, and @Shawn R would wet their pants over this. Killer expression of burg. Regal, pristine and focused. Extends and expands on the palate. Head-spinning presentation - Chelsea, London.

Oct 28th, 2015This is delicious, though from a riper vintage so a bit more round and luscious than normal. Crunchy minerality, soft oak notes and starting to develop the walnut/hazelnut and bruised apple and pear that time provides. Classy stuff, indeed.
