Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts White 2020
Puligny-Montrachet "Les Referts" 1er crus - 2020
- Production: 496 bottles and 24 magnums.
- PhilosophyPared down. Alongside the opulent, powerful Meursaults and the rich, mineral Chassagnes, are the pared-down wines of Puligny-Montrachet. Precise, linear and pure are the characteristics of the wines from this small, world-renowned village and they particularly shine through in the Premier Crus.
- TerroirLocated to the north of the village of Puligny-Montrachet, bordering Meursault, the “Les Referts” Premier Cru climat lies uphill from the “Meursault- Charmes” plots. The 30 -year- old vines are planted at the foot of the slopes in rather deep, marly soil, which lends the same matu- rity and richness that are found in “Les Charmes”. However, this wine’s elegant, linear framework and its floral bouquet reveal all of the typicity of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation.
- Vinification and ageingThe grapes were handpicked and meticulously sorted. Following gentle pressing of the grapes, only the finest juices were vinified at low tempe- ratures in barrels to extract fresh, rich aromas and f lavours. The wine was barrel aged for 13 months, with a proportion of 50% new, finely-grained French oak barrels that were selected with great care to lend finesse and elegance to this exceptional wine.
- Tasting notesGorgeous gold colour with green highlights. The first nose features a hint of oak, along with scents of almonds, both plain and sugar-coated. The second nose reveals scents of white blossoms (orange f lower, jasmine), which are complemented by nuances of cedar and maritime pine. Fresh, round, full-bodied start to the palate with f lavours of lemon tart and white chocolate, followed by notes of ripe mango. This wine boasts exceptional maturity.
