The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts was showing just a touch of reduction, not as much as the Chassagne En Virondot, nevertheless you could still discern a sense of vigour and energy here, and it seems to gain intensity in the glass. The palate is fresh and lively on the entry, quite an effervescent Les Referts with a sorbet-like finish that leaves the tongue tingling long after the wine has departed. Given the energy locked into this barrel sample, I can see this landing towards the top of my banded score.
