2018 Puligny Montrachet Les Referts

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a detailed bouquet, quite intense in style, featuring expressive green apple, slate and mint aromas that become more vocal with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and what might be a touch of botrytized fruit toward the finish, though Sabine assured me there was none. In any case, this is a very well-crafted Les Referts that should age well in bottle.
