🏰 The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was largely very good for both whites and reds, notable for having one of the hottest, driest growing seasons since 2003. Despite a wet winter and spring, perfect weather arrived for an early and abundant harvest. Jean-Marc Boillot's Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru 2018 offers a quintessential Puligny bouquet, with gunflint and limestone aromas that are strict yet satisfying. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and vivid, showcasing superb tension and energy towards the finish. Jasper Morris noted a graceful, open elegance on the nose, with apples and spring flowers, and a nicely balanced palate with a little more depth from the Referts clays, balanced by an attractive stony minerality. 【Quintessential Puligny Elegance with Stony Minerality】. This wine is crafted to age well, developing notes of honey and butter with time. 🍴 This elegant white Burgundy, made from Chardonnay, is an ideal partner for refined seafood dishes, poached fish, or fish cooked with cream or cheese sauces. It also pairs beautifully with chicken and turkey. Consider scallops seared in butter, a classic sole meunière, or a creamy chicken fricassee. The wine's acidity and complexity can also complement soft, ripe cheeses. 🥂 This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory lunch, or as a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy lover. Its ability to age also makes it a great candidate for cellaring for a special future occasion.
