Referts is the closest vineyard to Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes. Subtle differences in the soil lead to a wine that is know to be fattier and unctuous. The name Referts refers to ‘a field of bush and rocks’ — the land had to be thoroughly cleared before vines could be planted. The soil is marly at the top and and darker more iron-rich at the bottom, therefore it produces a more unctuous and a fatter wine than the others in Puligny-Montrachet.
After being hand-harvested, the grapes are immediately pressed. Following fermentation, the wine ages 17 months in oak barrels (25% new oak).
The wine leads with a sophisticated and concentrated nose of citrus and apricot aromas and then develops honey and butter notes with age. The finesse of Puligny-Montrachet combined with a dense and fleshy texture makes this another beautiful wine to enjoy now and for the next four years. An ideal partner to seafood, fish in sauce of mature cheeses.
“A bright wine with peaches, sliced apples and lemons. A touch of the exotic. Medium to full body, crisp acidity and a clean, vertical finish. Energetic and intense. Drink on release.”
