    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Buttery golden and yellow fruit with a lemon pith twist. A haunting, floral quality completes the picture with notes of lemon blossom and honeysuckle. Opulent and outgoing and very complete. From vines older than 50 years planted on heavier, more compact clay soils than Perrières and Garenne, the resultant wine is often therefore at the richer end of the spectrum.

    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a taut, linear, comparatively austere bouquet, direct and focused – quintessential Puligny. The palate is very well balanced with cleverly integrated oak, perfectly judged acidity and impressive weight and density toward the finish, while retaining a sense of elegance. This does need 3–4 years in bottle just to address the creaminess on the finish, but it’s a lovely Puligny. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
