Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières

2005 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières

Wide and fine with high-toned aromatics. A full-bodied but slightly tight, narrow presentation – not close to the width of flavour offered by the last wine. In overall quality it’s not far behind, but is beaten for aromatics and finish by the Morey.

Much more depth and width on the nose versus the Maltroie. Ripe fruit and again verygood acidity – the texture is good, as is the expansion on the palate – a very nice wine this one.

Medium-plus yellow. The nose is wide and deep, plenty of creamy vanillin oak plus sweet fruit – quite impressive for such a young wine. The palate is nicely textured and has good concentration, unfortunately it’s let down by a rather clipped finish. Almost good.

Deep yellow. The nose is a little tight at first, but with real depth, hinting at peach and botrytis over a honeyed base. Viscous, dense palate that shows a real burst of intensity in the mid-palate. The acidity, likewise, comes with a bit of a burst. This is a dense, and currently slightly heavy wine that’s showing in a very young way. Should be very good, but needs 4-8 years before revisiting.

Pale golden. You have to dig deep for the low-toned but very focused nose, swirling produces a little agrumes and subtle floral notes. Nice fat, but still a very elegant palate. So smooth, a wine which, with a bit of age and complexity, you could just float away with. Persistant yet very understated – a wine which you could (and would) enjoy today, but I sense that would be a waste.

Pale yellow. Dried, sugared fruits on the nose. Nice mouthfeel, on the follow through I thought the fruit had a ‘dirty’ finish, actually I think this is oak. Still a good wine.

Relatively subdued nose, faintly nutty. Lovely acidity coupled with a slightly buttery palate that opens really wide. The long finish shows a little aniseed. This is a lovely wine.
