Puligny-Montrachet

1er Cru Referts

Given its location, it can be compared to Fefe in Bresse that means a bristling field of brush and rocks. This is a land which had to remove the heads of rocks and had to clear land for planting vines

Vineyard

The closest "Climat" to Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, divided by the famous "Chemin des Moînes" (the monks path). The soil is marly at the top and and more ferruginous at the bottom, therefore it produces a more unctuous and a fatter wine than the others. Sensitive to over-ripeness.
