Offers good texture and breadth, with more firming lemony acidity than the village Chassagne or the Bourgogne Blanc Le Clos du Château de Puligny-Montrachet (winemaker Brian Sieve described this wine as more representative of 2016). But still a bit tight--and not a floral style of Puligny. Finishes with good penetration and length, if slightly aggressive. |

Vinous (88-90)(80% of this wine is declassified Chalumeaux, according to Brian Sieve, who noted that winemaker Jacques Montagnon is aging one-third of this cuvée in 228-liter barrels because of the wine's reductive tendency): Bright yellow. Ripe, buttery aromas of yellow peach and musky white flowers. Leaner than the village Chassagne, but enlivened by sappy lemony acidity. A bit longer on the aftertaste. From a slightly lower crop level than the Chassagne, according to Sieve. |

It has a delightful bouquet of green apple, white flowers and orange zest that bursts from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, good weight and a discreet touch of spice toward a finish of fine length. A quality village cru that will probably end up at the top of my banded score. |

It comes across more backward when compared to the 2015 Meursault Rougeot or Narvaux that preceded this wine at the domaine tasting. The palate offers candied orange peel on the entry that gallivants about with mandarin and grapefruit. It is hot-wired with a killer line of acidity that imbues this Puligny with supreme energy.

The bouquet is very precise and focused, offering Golden Delicious apple, honeysuckle and light fennel scents, plus faint orange blossom aromas.

Wine Advocate (90)The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gain impresses for its persistence, depth and balance. This is a cool, limestone-infused style with terrific focus. The wine blossoms beautifully on the palate as the fruit comes to life on the broad, creamy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. |

Vinous (89)Pale yellow. Very ripe peach on the slightly reduced nose. Sweeter and fruitier than the Chassagne, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the round, pliant middle palate. Better fruit and verve here, and more thrust on the back end. |

Vinous (88)Bright pale yellow; healthier than the village Chassagne-Montrachet. Aromas of apricot, hazelnut and nutty oak. Offers good texture and breadth, with more firming lemony acidity than the village Chassagne or the Bourgogne Blanc Le Clos du Château de Puligny-Montrachet (winemaker Brian Sieve described this wine as more representative of 2016). But still a bit tight--and not a floral style of Puligny. Finishes with good penetration and length, if slightly aggressive. |

Vinous (88-90)(80% of this wine is declassified Chalumeaux, according to Brian Sieve, who noted that winemaker Jacques Montagnon is aging one-third of this cuvée in 228-liter barrels because of the wine's reductive tendency): Bright yellow. Ripe, buttery aromas of yellow peach and musky white flowers. Leaner than the village Chassagne, but enlivened by sappy lemony acidity. A bit longer on the aftertaste. From a slightly lower crop level than the Chassagne, according to Sieve. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Village comes 75% from Chalumaux that was declassified in the late Seventies (there is a great story about why that happened, but I’ll leave it for another time). It has a delightful bouquet of green apple, white flowers and orange zest that bursts from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, good weight and a discreet touch of spice toward a finish of fine length. A quality village cru that will probably end up at the top of my banded score. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a pretty nose with Granny Smiths, greengage and touches of white asparagus; the underlying mineralité becomes more evident with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, saline and lightly spiced towards the composed finish. This is a decent Puligny Village. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Not in bottle. Pale lemon and lime. The bouquet leaps out of the glass, with an intensity of fruit taken at perfect ripeness. Excellent energy through the middle, racy and still fine. The Enseignères leaves a beautifully balanced aftertaste. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: October 2023. |

Vinous (91+)Bright yellow. High-toned, lively aromas of peach and brown spices. Then tight for this wine in the early going, showing less opulence today than the Meursault Rougeots. Less fleshy than the young 2012 version but fine-grained and long, with good energy for the vintage. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignieres has a light apple blossom and lime-scented bouquet that needed some encouragement from the glass. It comes across more backward when compared to the 2015 Meursault Rougeot or Narvaux that preceded this wine at the domaine tasting. The palate offers candied orange peel on the entry that gallivants about with mandarin and grapefruit. It is hot-wired with a killer line of acidity that imbues this Puligny with supreme energy. The finish is pleasantly saline and offers a cheeky dab of lemongrass on the aftertaste. This is just superb. |

Vinous (93)The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres comes from a single hectare of vines planted in the 1950s. I often feel their Puligny is overlooked simply for the crime of not being "Meursault." The bouquet is very precise and focused, offering Golden Delicious apple, honeysuckle and light fennel scents, plus faint orange blossom aromas. The palate is powerful and intense with a fine bead of acidity, hints of praline infusing the slightly peachy fruit, and then coheres beautifully toward the persistent finish. This is simply an outstanding Puligny-Montrachet that effortlessly punches at Premier Cru level. |

Burghound (93)Outstanding. This is also quite floral in character with its array of honeysuckle, acacia and lavender notes that add a touch of elegance to the layered citrus, spice, pear and soft wood aromas. The rich, concentrated and opulent medium-bodied flavors are blessed with plenty of dry extract that soaks the palate while buffering the firm acid spine shaping the beautifully persistent finish. This needs to develop more depth with time in bottle but this exciting Puligny villages appears to be very promising. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignières is especially successful this year, bursting from the glass with notes of crisp stone fruits, white flowers, blanched almonds, pastry cream and sesame oil. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a concentrated core of fruit, racy acids and striking purity and precision, it's an elegant, penetrating wine that stands out even in this very compelling portfolio. |

Here the flavors are more sculpted and finessed than in the Richarde, while the minerality is also more apparent. With time in the glass the beauty and purity of the fruit emerges, but the Folatières convinces for its regal texture and personality alone. Readers who can find the 2011 are going to be thrilled. |
