Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières was showing well, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, citrus oil, nutmeg and warm pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, racy and nicely defined palate that's long and intense. (WK)

There is a whiff of the exotic in the form of pineapple wisps that combine with notes of acacia blossom and various white-fleshed fruit aromas. The lush and opulent yet relatively refined medium-bodied flavors possess slightly better mid-palate density, all wrapped in a youthfully austere but not quite as dry finale. This isn't classically styled but there's clearly more here.

The 2018 Folatières from Fils et Père is a lovely and succulent example of the vintage. The ripe and generous nose offers up scents of apple, peach, a good base of chalky soil tones, vanillin oak, citrus zest and a topnote of white lilies. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and succulent at the core, with very good focus, cut and grip and a long, already quite complex finish. This is a lovely example of the vintage that could use a few years in the cellar to blossom fully, but which will be hard to resist out of the blocks.

Vinous
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru contains around two-thirds young vines and one-third 20- to 30-year-old vines. It has a pleasant green apple and orange pith bouquet, although it lacks the penetration of the 2017 tasted a year earlier. The palate is taut and fresh, with citrus lemon and a lovely saline note that defines the final half. Not an overly complex Folatières, but it will give pleasure over the next decade, possibly more.

K&L Notes
92-95 points Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy: "Pale lemon, the nose is quite high class, and suggests some depth of fruit, the right weight on the palate, an attractive lime infused tang, good persistence, balanced and attractive."
