Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts White 2022

Puligny-Montrachet "Les Referts" 1er crus - 2022

  • AppellationPULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU
  • Production: 840 bottles an2412 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, meticulously sorted and completely destemmed. Following gentle pressing of the grapes, only the finest juices were vinified at low temperatures in barrels to extract fresh, rich aromas and flavours. The wine was barrel aged for 14 months in new, finely-grained French oak barrels that were selected with great care to lend finesse and elegance to this exceptional wine.
  • Tasting notesBeautiful golden yellow color. Expressive and elegant nose of white peach, Williams pear and wild strawberry with an exotic touch of passion fruit. A lot of freshness and lightness emerge, balanced with gourmet scents of vanilla, buttercream and barley sugar. The attack on the palate is rich, lively, almost vibrant. We perceive a nice note of coffee that brings complexity and elegance. The palate reveals fresh, intense aromas of yuzu, mandarin, and lemon as well as a beautiful tension. The finish offers a light, well-coated acidity that energizes this wine with immense potential and an already well-asserted character. Superb length.
