2018 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts, Domaine Bachelet-Monnot (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a slight mintiness on the nose that I find a little incongruous in this wine. This appears to ebb with aeration and reveal more petrichor scents. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, touches of orange pith and wild peach, fine depth and precision towards the finish. This is an absolutely delicious Puligny. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru produced an unusually bountiful crop this year, at around 45hl/ha instead of the 30hl/ha of recent years. It has a very intense, precise bouquet with crushed limestone infusing the green apple and citrus aromas. The palate is very focused on the entry, revealing a touch of spice and hints of fresh gooseberry. It feels a little austere overall, but there is such energy that it will repay cellaring. Excellent.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a taut crisp and flinty bouquet with Granny Smith apples and a light sea spray element. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh with a precise and nervous finish. I think this may well outflank the 2019 – let’s see.
