Vineyard
The closest “Climat” to Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, divided 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.
Food & Wine Pairing
Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Referts 2023 pairs beautifully with grilled lobster, seared scallops, or elegant fish dishes such as sole meunière. It also complements roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes, and refined seafood plates. The wine’s freshness, minerality, and delicate complexity make it a perfect match for rich seafood and white meat. Ideal with baked Lyonnaise dumplings.
