2010 Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru Folatieres, Lucien Le Moine (6 x Bottle)
Hazy gold. Wild, exotic aromas of smoked meat, clove and minerals. Dense, suave, silky and rich, with an almost painful dryness to the crushed rock and saline mineral flavors. Today this impressively fine-grained wine's fruit is in the deep background. Best on the rising, inexorable finish. Uncompromisingly soil-driven wine.

Vinous
The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Folatièresis the most tense and inward of the Puligny premiers crus today. It boasts a serious core of underlying minerality, bright fruit and tremendous length. At this same time it is a bit raw. If the typical Folatièresfinesse emerges, the wine may merit a higher score in the future.

Vinous
(these grapes were almost golden at the time of harvest, according to Saouma): White flowers and smoky minerality on the nose. Broad, fat and large-scaled, but utterly silky for all its thickness. Not conveying the detail today of the Garenne but this is even richer. Most impressive on the very long, minerally finish, which is like chewing on stone. I may be underrating this.
