Tasting notes
Of a golden colour, the Puligny Referts 2011 is characterised by a rich and
fruity nose with hints of plums and honey. It is a powerful and ample wine.
Description
Home to some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet,
Chevalier-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the 216 hectare geographical
middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne Montrachet
to the south. At the bottom of the hillside, « Les Referts » is situated between «
Les Perrieres » and « Les Charmes » and benefits from an ideal south-easterly exposure.
