DOMAINE MARC MOREY PULIGNY – MONTRACHET 1er CRU ‘LES REFERTS’ (France) – 92 Points Burghound.com “ Here too there is a mild touch of reduction that does not materially detract from the very ripe pear, white peach and apricot aromas. There is impressive opulence to the plush, round and sappy flavors that enjoy excellent mid-palate concentration that end in a textured, intense and well-balanced finish that delivers strikingly good length. I also like the lovely complexity and overall, this is a relatively refined Referts ” -Burghound

In the palate as well full-aromatic this drop seduces with a lot of extract, a dynamically racy body, meanwhile the fine ripe sweetness match very well with the delicate fruity acid. Completes with a long spicy aftertaste this wine probably belongs to the best what this vintage can offer!
