Tasting Notes
This has an expressive, almost exuberant nose with toffee, honey, vanilla and hazelnut aromas shooting from the glass. The palate is equally impressive, with honeyed fruit, crystallised citrus and honeydew melon notes. Despite the concentration and ripe fruit character, the wine retains amazing levels of acidity. Winemaker Barnier claims Folatières’s slightly cooler site provided an added freshness in 2019. A highlight in Jadot’s line-up of whites this year.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), which derives from lieu-dit En la Richarde, exhibits aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and toasted bread. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's satiny and complete, with lively acids and a bright, mineral finish. This is very promising.
