Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières – 2009 – 92 points, A Year’s Best White Burgundy – Wine & Spirits
92 points
“On the hill above Clavoillon, Leflaive’s three parcels of Folatières total 3.11 acres. This is a luscious 2009, with scents of yellow roses, crème caramel, green pear and butterbeans. It combines the warmth of the summer sun with a cooler, autumn apple brightness, a playful balance that shows less potent underlying structure than other Leflaive 1er Crus in this vintage. If you collect them all, start drinking this one first.”
