2011 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Les Folatieres 1x750ml

Robert Parker 90

The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres has a pretty bouquet that is stony and mineral-rich, perhaps stylistically more 2010. The palate is nicely balanced but does not quite have the verve I was expecting for such a propitious lieu-dit. It is very linear and precise, although it needs a little more character on the finish that is a little abrupt. [Neal Martin, 01/08/2013]

Vinous 92

Good pale yellow. Subdued but pure aromas of pear, white flowers and dusty herbs. Supple, subtly sweet and fine-grained, with very good energy and precision to its lemon and floral flavors; shows a slightly muscaty aspect that contributes to the wine’s personality. Finishes with excellent cut and length. This has turned out very well. (Incidentally, Colin did not get this fruit in 2012.) [Stephen Tanzer, 09/01/2013]
