The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a taut crisp and flinty bouquet with Granny Smith apples and a light sea spray element. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh with a precise and nervous finish. I think this may well outflank the 2019 - let’s see. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2020)

One of my favorite Pulignys.
Perhaps not quite as expressive as my last bottle six weeks ago but still super enjoyable.

Amazing value. I wish this was more available in U.S.

Rich and round. Lacked a bit of the acidity expected but damn this is good.

Nez moyennement aromatique, vin droit, ciselé, minéral, très pur, très fin et frais, superbe équilibre, belle longue finale. 92-93

Mildly expressive nose at first but opens up, very chiseled and almost mineral, yet elegant and fine, fresh and pure, nice finish too.

Gorgeous wine, fresh, some depth, pure and energetic, clean, never disappointed with this domaine. 92-93

Un vin savoureux, frais, assez ample et large comparativement à il y quelques années mais toujours dans ce style pur, vif, énergique de ce beau domaine.

Great Referts once again by this producer. White fruits and some floral aspects, integrated oak, so crisp, a touch of roundness and richness, fresh and energetic, very long gorgeous finish. 93-94

Superbe bouteille. Fruits blancs, aspects floral et un léger boisé intégré. Une certaine rondeur et richesse pour balancer l’acidité tranchante, Frais, fin mais énergique et assez puissant à la fois, longue délicieuse finale. 93-94

Slight reduction but very elegant and classy nose of white orchard fruit and some floral tones, wet stones and a lot of minerality that also that carries over on the palate, crisp and elegant, with great Puligny backbone, delicious and long mouth watering finish. Always a great wine made by the two Bachelet brothers. 92-93

Un peu réduit au nez mais très élégant et racé avec des notes florales et de fruits du verger blancs, un côté salin et minéral qui se transpose en bouche aussi. Belle structure et colonne de Puligny avec cette acidité racée et noble, avec une longueur minérale, savoureuse et salivante, une autre belle réussite des frères Bachelet.
