2020 Domaine Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts Premier Cru

Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825, and while they have been known for producing outstanding quality wines throughout this time, they are widely considered one of the most improved domaines in Burgundy over the last decade. Since taking over from his father Francois, Erwan Faiveley has made a deliberate decision to emphasise freshness and purity of fruit rather than fruit extraction, and at times, excessive use of new oak. This change has resulted in wines with greater refinement and vineyard character expression.

The "Les Referts" climat covers 5 hectares of vines and lies at the border of Meursault, on a south-east facing plot with light, shallow pebbly soils. Historically this climat has produced tight and mineral wines.
