Wine Reviews

Effusive flavors of apricot and peach, plus a hint of pineapple, mark this ripe, opulent white. There are subtle notes of vanilla, toasted brioche and white flowers as this winds down leisurely on the salty finish.

Expressive and rich, this white features peach, lime blossom, citronella and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Vibrant acidity keeps everything well-delineated, while the finish fans out with fruit and oak spice details.

There are just two big barrels of the 2024 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and chalky wine evocative of pear, toasted nuts and peach, framed by a deft touch of oak. Racy, compact and penetrating, this has turned out nicely.

The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru was showing some reduction on the nose, though it is clear there is plenty of fruit behind it. The palate is well balanced with orange rind and nectarine on the entry, quite exotic for a Folatières, nicely composed however on the finish. This will need a couple of years once in bottle, but I cannot help thinking that it could have given more.

This is a little closed and shy, with deep aromas of salted lemons, fresh pineapple, seashells and a hint of butter. The palate is elegant and well defined, with fresh, bright acidity. Long and pure finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2028.
