Description
Puligny-Montrachet “Les Referts” 1976 – Martin Père et Fils
The Puligny-Montrachet “Les Referts” 1976 from Martin Père et Fils is an extraordinary example of an aged white Burgundy, crafted from one of the finest climats on the Puligny–Meursault border. Les Referts is renowned for producing Chardonnay of great depth, combining richness with mineral tension. The warm 1976 vintage yielded wines of remarkable concentration and longevity, qualities that shine brilliantly in this rare mature bottle.
The wine displays a deep golden colour with amber reflections, a natural expression of its long evolution. The nose is beautifully layered, offering honey, dried fruits, roasted peach, quince, alongside evolved notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh butter, soft spices, beeswax, noble mushroom, and a touch of warm stone that evokes the limestone-rich terroir.
On the palate, the wine is broad, powerful, and richly textured, yet maintains a surprising freshness for its age. A fine underlying acidity brings balance to the wine’s opulent structure. Flavours of candied yellow fruit, almond, orange zest, brioche, and a delicate saline edge create remarkable complexity. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, leaving a deep impression of noble maturity.
A truly exceptional Puligny-Montrachet, rare and profoundly expressive — a testament to the greatness of the Les Referts vineyard and the enduring elegance of the 1976 vintage.
