{bought 2 on release, perfect fill} Gorgeous, very pretty stupendously Folatieres fruit nose, super lovely, a tender perfume. Tender and a pointe on palate too. Open now and will drink my 2nd bottle within 2 years. 17 does not have the acid edge of the 14s, enjoy this very well made wine in next few years while at peak, not a long-term wine based on structure. . Cleverly and knowingly made wine. Tonight I think the Pucelles drunk last night (93) just pips this but you might differ. Drink soon, Bacchanalian.

2017 Paul Pernot et ses Fils Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos des Folatières ($88 in 2020). Sharp mid-gold; complex citrus, stone fruit, mineral, vanilla and honey nose; mid+ acids; balanced; good depth of fruit; long semi-lush honey and peach finish. w/halibut. 17-17.5 UC Davis scale, 92-93 other scales.

DIAM closure. Infanticide but I wanted to check in on how 2017s are developing since it’s a vintage I went heavy on. Thankfully from this sample size of one it seems like the hype is warranted. Very pretty floral notes of elderflower, ripe citrus and yellow fruits. Some oak treatment but does not obscure the lovely minerality. Developed to put on more weight to give a rounder texture. Very persistent finish.

What's interesting here is that this ticks all the boxes, plenty of lemon-drop, peach and other yellow citrus and pitted fruits, a bit of stones underneath. It screams textbook 1er Puligny but doesn't really grab my attention. I've enjoyed the character of the Thévenet wines we love or even the Prudhon St. Aubins we've been drinking more than this. Maybe it's too young or maybe it's just too "correct". I've got more, so I guess we'll see.

Tasted vis-a-vis the 2016 and on the day this was just a wee bit superior; nerveux, vibrant, mineral, citrus galore, butter, white Burgundy at it's best, I love this. Will keep. #podcast

N: Butter with minerals & lemons, forest floor coming forward
P: MF body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish OAK/frt counterbalanced by a crisp acidity which does become the driving force through the LONG, balanced, tangy/swt finish with OCCASIONAL *hints* of honey? NEEDS through '20 for oak to meld, then drinking through '24? My EXC, poss more eventually. 91-94 pts Vinous (Tanzer), 92 WA (Kelley), 91 Burghound, & 16/20 Jancis Robinson. [This vendor's $84.95 is now in the TOP quartile of wine-searcher's postings.]

Fine Vines Fall 2019 Portfolio Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Walk-around tasting, brief note. Wonderfully floral start with spice notes alongside apple and pear. Impeccable balance with very good weight and an expanding finish. This will reward a few more years in the cellar, best 2021 forward.

Subsequent notes on this wine. Medium golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, pears, citrus notes of lemons/limes & grapefruit with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, spices & somewhat stony/flinty notes with a subtle hint of vanilla/oak. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of apples, pears & lemons/limes with minerals, flinty, stony & a hint of vanilla/oak. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but needs additional time to fully develop at which time the score should be higher (95+). May be the best 1er Cru offering from this exceptional producer. Well worth seeking out & acquiring a few bottles.

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish oak/frt elegantly counterbalanced by an acidity which fairly seamlessly evolves into a LONG, tangy/swt finish with a very, VERY slight bitterness. Tight now, NEEDS through '19, then drinking through '22 without difficulty. My EXC-, more eventually? [This vendor's $84.95 is a stunning $10 < than the lowest of wine-searcher's currently limited entries!]
Note: Almost certainly from the same bottle as Vinnut this same date.

Tasted after 2017 P-M Villages. More depth, concentration and detail. Fresh, dense, mineral and quite approachable at this stage. Good energy to the finish, quite long. 91-92+

Paul Pernot Cellar Visit, Tasting 2017s (Day 2, Visit 1) (Puligny-Montrachet): Tasting at the domaine. Cross-section of orchard fruit aromas and flavors with the best textures so far. Very dense and long, while also already balanced and easily approached. VG+ for its level. Once again in 2017 I prefer this over Pucelles.

Lovely wine albeit somewhat restrained. Sweet spices, vanilla, some lingering fruit. Overall very ballanced.
