Puligny Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru

Wine information: The Premier Cru vineyards of Puligny Montrachet, noted for the exceptionally high and consistent quality of the wines they produce, stretch across the upper half of Puligny's slope from Meursault to Chassagne. The "Referts" climat, next to "Les Combettes, benefits from the same soil. Maison Louis Jadot practices traditional oak vinification to yield a full-flavoured yet graceful wine of exceptional balance and breed, with complex, distinctive aromas typical of Puligny. This great white wine is destined to honour haute cuisine : shellfish cooked in a court-bouillon, creamed and poached fish, poultry liver pâtés, ripe cheeses like Munster and mature Comté.

Reviews: "Very pale. Broad, solid, earthbound nose. Quite a bit of richness and fairly simple lemon-mousse character. It may all settle down into something pleasing and complex." 16.5 Points, Jancis Robinson 2010.
