This vineyard carries the local nickname ‘Petit Bâtard’ on account of its clay-rich soils and the depth, quality and texture of the wines it routinely delivers—sometimes reminiscent of the nearby Grand Cru, Bâtard Montrachet. The Bachelet brothers farm a 0.45-hectare parcel of 40-year-old vines near the top of the slope (next door to Sauzet’s) under the Les Combettes 1er Cru. The soils here are very stony, which brings generosity and flesh, but there’s no shortage of mineral charge. It was raised entirely in 350-litre barrels. As you can read below, the 2021 is a stunning example. Only three barrels were made this year.

Reviews

“Mid lemon yellow. More bacon fat than fruit on the nose, reasonably concentrated white fruit on the palate with an agreeable lift at the finish, ripe limes infiltrating white fruit, and persistent. Really impressive aftertaste, in fact. 3 x 350 litre barrels made in the end.” 91-94 points
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
"The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru sports a very subtle reduction on the nose and fine intensity, though I feel this will require some bottle age to really open up. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip, fine substance here, lovely acidity with fresh green apple, pear and lime towards the finish. An appealingly bitter aftertaste urges you back for another sip. Classy." 92-94 points
