"Saouma opines that Pulignys are particularly rich and noble in this vintage, which is why he served his trio from that village after his Chassagnes and Meursaults, but his 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Folatieres – tasted from its two barrels – was the sole wine I thought supported his opinion. Toasted hickory, brown spices, high-toned herbal essences, and a suggestion of chicken stock make for a fascinating and unusual aromatic display. Hints of caramelized peach join the proceedings on the palate, beautifully segueing into the spices and nut paste, but at the same time a rather adamant mineral character emerges to anchor the wine's long finish. This boasts a positive sense of oxidative evolution in both its pronounced nuttiness and esterous, spirituous overtones."
