Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Referts' is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Bachelet-Monnot winery in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Referts vineyard, which is known for its limestone-rich soil and ideal south-east facing slope. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging on the lees for several months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the terroir, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted nuts, and a rich, creamy texture balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
