The 2022 Domaine Dugat-Py Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts is an exceptional Chardonnay from the highly regarded Les Referts Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet. Crafted by Domaine Dugat-Py, this debut cuvée showcases the elegance and precision of this renowned limestone-rich site, offering expressive aromas of white peach, lemon zest, citrus oil and white flowers, complemented by hints of freshly baked brioche and flinty minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky texture, vibrant acidity and beautifully defined flavours of ripe pear, citrus and orchard fruit. Delicate oak integration and a distinctive saline mineral character bring depth and finesse, leading to a long, refined finish that reflects the classic style of Puligny-Montrachet.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru White Burgundy for collectors and lovers of elegant, terroir-driven Chardonnay. Enjoy with butter-poached lobster, grilled scallops, roast chicken with morel mushrooms or mature Comté cheese. While approachable with a short decant, it will continue to develop beautifully through 2027–2038.
