Note di degustazione
Pale color. Knockout highly nuanced nose combines white peach, spices, noble Puligny herbs and flowers. The wine's superb richness is buffered by strong saline minerality and a distinctive note of powdery chalk. Finishes bone-dry and very long, with terrific purity and grip. But there's nothing hard about this beauty, as it's balanced from the start. A real essence of dry minerality.

The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatières is much more aloof on the nose compared to the nascent les Perrières, doesn't quite get out of second gear. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a keen thread of acidity and goes some way to make up for the sulkiness of the aromatics. Especially towards the finish, where it delivers Meursault-like hazelnut and walnut notes. Give this 3-4 years in bottle and it should rise phoenix-like.
(from the steep lieu-dit en la Richard, at the south end of the appellation): Pale yellow. Sexy, musky aromas of white grapefruit, white peach, crushed stone and hawthorn, plus a whiff of musky lees. Elegant, suave and smooth, offering strong saline minerality and terrific inner-mouth energy. Finishes adamantly dry, with a subtle whiplash of white stone fruits and minerals and an impression of weightlessness. Boudot says the white soil here is a bit like the marne blanche of Chevalier-Montrachet, which lies just to the south.
