The mineral, freshly cut flower, and sweet, toasted oak-scented 1999 Puligny-Montrachet Folatieres is an outstanding light to medium-bodied wine. Gorgeously focused, with outstanding depth, richness, and breadth, this pear, crisp apple, white flower, and nutmeg-flavored wine is one of the rare 1999 white Burgundies that should withstand cellaring. Projected maturity: 2002-2011.
