Over the years Jean-Philippe has tamed this vigorous vineyard and the fruits of his labour are evident in the high level of quality here in 2007. A graceful, floral nose leads on to a fine, rich, fleshy palate which has a notably long aftertaste.

There is a fine density of flavour in the complex nose, with a little toast and bacon fat. There are lifted, almost ethereal notes to the fruit, with fresh and pure apple-like acidity. Long and distinguished with dancing fruit, very fineboned yet with a layer of velvet.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Wine Director

This micro-domaine continues to make some of the most sublime white wines in all of Burgundy but there is so little made that Arnaud and Marie-Odile are somewhat under the radar. Their meticulous work in the vineyards mean that yields are always low, though they hope to do better than their 19 hl/ha in 2012 and 26 hl/ha in 2013. The 2012s enjoyed long slow fermentations, so the wines were quite backward when tasted in November. The reds are also very fine this year.

The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts brings together all of the elements of the house style. It shows marvelous harmony, deftly balancing the ripeness of the year with structure and persistence. Layers of radiant fruit flow through gracefully to the finish, where bright, floral notes restore elements of brightness and freshness. Yellow stone fruits, light honey and smokiness linger in the glass. I especially like the energy and polish here. This is a fabulous bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
