Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts from Jean-Philippe Fichet has a comparatively lighter bouquet than others, offering light flinty aromas tinged with smoke. The palate is balanced with touches of orange rind, citrus fruit and moderate depth, but my main criticism is that it needs more tension and bite on the finish. It is a Puligny that maybe thinks a B+ will suffice this vintage.

Straw-yellow. Reticent scents of lime, orange zest, spearmint and flowers, with complicating hints of menthol and subtle brown spices. Then more yellow and round in the mouth, with a plumpness more like Meursault. Silky, plush and seamless, with lovely floral lift. This suave, mouthfilling wine finishes smooth and long, with lingering yellow peach and spice flavors and a touch of dusty minerality. Much more harmonious and easygoing in bottle than it was in barrel, and still with a faint impression of sweetness.
Pure aromas of white peach and flowers. Smoky and glyceral-sweet but with lively acidity giving the middle palate a faint hard edge today. Finishes with attractive limey lift but the flavors seem hidden today. This youthfully disjointed wine, which is the highest in residual sugar of these 2014s at 1.6 grams per liter, is hard to assess today.
