The last vintage for a site that's due for replanting, the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts (Domaine Louis Jadot) wafts from the glass with aromas of freshly baked bread, buttered popcorn, citrus zest and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, taut and concentrated, it's chiseled and mineral, with tangy acids and a chalky finish.

Notes of pear, hazelnuts, white flowers, yellow apple and buttered toast introduce the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, layered and textural wine that's mineral and incisive, with bright acids and a saline finish. This is promising.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing well, exhibiting aromas of fresh pear, waxy citrus rind, warm bread and blanched almonds. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with impressive cut and a chalky finish. This is a fine effort that merits serious consideration.

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.

The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts, which comes under the domaine, not Maison Jadot, has quite a potent bouquet with scents of honeysuckle, jasmine, citrus fruit and apple blossom. I like the energy conveyed here—more than the La Garenne for example. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, quite rich and slightly honeyed in texture with subtle spice and lemongrass notes surfacing on the very slightly oxidative finish.
