Jacques Carillon, Puligny Montrachet Referts Vintage:2016 (92-94)/2023+(45+ year old vines). A broad ranging array offers up notes of acacia blossom, orange pekoe tea, pear and white peach scents. There is both excellent power but also excellent delineation to the energetic and lightly mineral inflected flavors that possess a highly seductive mouth feel before culminating in a wonderfully persistent, highly complex and perfectly well balanced finale. This is very classy stuff that should age well yet be approachable
