he 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has much more mineralité and terroir expression on the nose that bursts from the glass. There is more intensity than the Les Referts. The palate is extremely well-balanced with superb poise and tension, perfectly judged acidity and an arresting, minerally, complex finish. This is a stunning Puligny from Bachelet-Monnot, and it comes highly recommended. Alexandre Bachelet greeted me at the winery in Maranges. Recent vintages have been a treasure trove of supremely well-crafted wines, both whites and reds, that have garnered a strong and loyal following. “I like the substance in the reds in 2022, though for the whites, the 2021 is more ‘tendu’ [tense]. We started the picking on August 25 with the whites and September 1 for the reds. After that, we changed between the white and red parcels. It was a classic vinification with yields around 40hL/ha up to 55hL/ha, alcohol levels around 12.8% to 13.2% for both colors.” Standouts here include a stunning Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières that must surely rank as one of the finest from that vineyard. It actually slipped past the Bâtard-Montrachet…it’s that good.
