The 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Folatières from Leflaive was layered, rich and weighty, with tons of character, while Sauzet’s 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Referts showed more of a flinty, mineral-drivern personality. Both were beautiful.
A deep greenish golden glow to this substantial wine. Some putty scent and some spring blossom. Very firm on the palate with lots of matière and grip. You should wait quite a while for this but it’s already very lively and already starting to develop a bouquet with a hint of orange peel. Quite powerful for a Leflaive wine. (JR)
