Puligny Referts, Louis Jadot 2017

A judicious application of wood does not detract from the appeal of the fresh aromas of floral, white peach and menthol that display spicy top notes. There is excellent concentration and intensity to the less mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess slightly better depth on the seductive and palate coating finish that is sufficiently firm to suggest that this too will require most of a decade to arrive at its peak.

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts (Domaine Louis Jadot) exhibits attractive aromas of ripe citrus fruit, fresh peach, orange blossom and chalky soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent palate with good concentration and a penetrating finish. This is a comparatively open, suave rendition of Referts from Jadot, and it will show well out of the gates.
