Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Folatières 2018 are: “The king of the cellar is the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Folatières, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that's fleshy and enveloping. Evocative of pears, mandarin oil, fresh bread and pastry cream, it concludes with a bright, saline finish”.

On Burgundy Report, Jacqueline Collardot comments on vintage 2018: “The 2018 Bourgogne was bottled after 1 year of elevage, it was 16-18 months for the other wines, i.e. 2 winters in the cellar. All old barrels were used in elevage, ‘okay a few were new in 2017!‘ As for DIAM, we are still testing. For now, we’ve been using the top-level corks from Trescases and to-date, we’ve no returns!”.
