justerini & brooks tasting note

Complex well defined aromas on the nose. Real precision. A lovely blend of rich fruit and smoky crushed minerals. This has some flesh but also great momentum, salty notes of citrus pith, citrus zest and yellow plum. There’s a certain body here but its kinetic and fizzing with energy and tension. From prime-situated vines next door to those of Sauzet, where the large clay content of the soils yields generous round wines of beautiful fruit. Fermentation and élevage take place in 350 litre barrels, with no bâtonnage, for 12 months before six months in stainless steel.

critic reviews

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru sports a very subtle reduction on the nose and fine intensity, though I feel this will require some bottle age to really open up. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip, fine substance here, lovely acidity with fresh green apple, pear and lime towards the finish. An appealingly bitter aftertaste urges you back for another sip. Classy.
