Puligny-Montrachet
1er Cru Referts
From tears of rain to tears of wine, a year as trying as it is moving! 2024 will be remembered… Marked by record rainfall and omnipresent humidity, it put winegrowers to the test. Despite vigilance and hard work in the vines, mildew took over, strongly impacting yields. Significant disparities appeared between terroirs: more draining soils were better able to resist disease pressure. Fortunately, after harvest, the quality of the wines came as a nice surprise. Freshness and radiance are there, offering a precious reward after a season of challenges.
Vineyard
The closest "Climat" to Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, separated by the famous "Chemin des Moînes" (the monk path). The soil is marly at the top and and more ferruginous at the bottom, therefore it produces a more unctuous and fatter wine than the other Puligny-Montrachet.
