Tasting notes
Beautiful fruit purity here with an array of grapefruit, white peaches and green mangoes. The palate has an exotic feel with ripeness and great acidity. This is very open already, but has the acidity to age for six to eight years.

One of the high points of the portfolio is the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts, a pretty wine that offers up notes of sweet lemon oil, lime, crisp green apples and dried white flowers. On the palate, it's medium-to-full bodied, satiny and layered, with an ample, succulent profile and lovely purity.
Cask sample. Savoury nose. And then pretty big and chewy. Grainy texture and tastes as though it has quite a future even if it’s not amazingly refined. (JR)
