| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
De iets diepere en vochtiger bodem is een zegen in warmere wijnjaren. De neus heeft een aangename, vuursteenachtige reductie die aanhoudt op de tong met kruidige tonen. Het fruit is gul en mondvullend, maar aciditeit brent focus en ruggengraat. IN DE PERS 93-95 Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy (December 2023) A pale lemon colour, less reductive so the sunny fruit of a quality Folatières can show instead. But there is nothing soft about this as the tension shows at the back. A little mirabelle note to the fruit and a touch of liquorice, with excellent energy. Drink 2030 – 2038. 92-94 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Januari 2024) The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Let Folatières 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with Clementine, Japanese yuzu, and a little chalk surfacing with aeration. It’s delicate at first but blossoms in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with deftly integrated oak (20% new from Damy), good depth, not powerful, but refined. It fans out gently towards the finish with sufficient sapidity to tempt you back for more. This is a fine Folatières in the making. Drink 2026 - 2042 Head winemaker Brian Sieve describes: “We had an uneventful 2022,” he explains in their barrel cellar in Meursault. “We didn’t have any employee or tractor problems. The “noise” you have during a vintage didn’t happen. The biggest problem was finding good wood to prune after the frosts in 2021, which was early in the season. We had quite a bit of rain in June to sustain us through the dry periods, especially on the limestone soils. The Côte de Nuits, particularly Clos de Vougeot, seem to get more rain than the Côte de Beaune, 40mm there compared to 10mm down here. I believe the anti-hail canons in the Côte de Beaune ‘push’ the storms northwards. Marsannay and Gevrey get heaps of rain. You get more stress on more calcareous soils that are porous but free-draining. We had no heatwave or ‘canicule’ when the vines shut down. It was a warm season, but the stats are skewed because of the hot temperatures in February and March. It wasn’t like 2018 when maturity was advanced and progressing very fast. In 2022, the maturity came slower. We started with the kosher wines on August 26 and finished around September 8. We cropped at around 45hL/ha for the reds. The whole cluster percentages were based on whether it fitted into the vats. The wines underwent one extraction per day, pigeage rather than pumping over, which is just done at the beginning, whereas in his day, Hubert de Montille was doing three or four. Extraction happens by itself more than it used to. We found that we had very high-quality lees in 2022. |
