Domaine des Terres de Velle Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts Blanc 2022

Domaine des Terres de Velle Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts Blanc 2022 is a finely crafted Burgundy Chardonnay from one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most prized Premier Cru sites, right on the border of Meursault and next to Les Perrières. Produced in tiny quantities from just 0.12 hectares, this is an expressive, terroir-driven wine that combines prestige, rarity, and remarkable depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the poised, luminous character you would expect from a serious Puligny-Montrachet, with impressive concentration and finesse. The nose opens with nectarine, ripe red apple, and citrus, layered with almond, brioche, and subtle oak spice that adds breadth without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, the wine is dense and intense, yet still elegant and precise, with a complex mid-palate and a long, tightly structured finish. The oak ageing brings extra depth and texture, and while it is already highly rewarding, this Premier Cru has the structure to age beautifully over the coming years.

Production
Les Referts is a celebrated Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, positioned on the prestigious golden slope of Burgundy and benefiting from an exceptional limestone-rich terroir. Domaine des Terres de Velle farms only 0.12 hectares here, yielding around 750 bottles per year, and the grapes are vinified in a classic style with fermentation and ageing in oak barrels, including around 40% new wood. The wine spends up to 18 months in barrel before being bottled unfiltered, allowing it to retain its full texture and aromatic complexity. This careful approach highlights both the power of the site and the finesse of Chardonnay from this revered corner of Burgundy.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for grilled turbot with beurre blanc, where the wine’s richness and precision mirror the dish beautifully. It would also pair well with lobster, roast poultry in a creamy sauce, or fine veal dishes. Serve at around 10–12°C, and consider decanting briefly if drinking young to help open up the wine’s layered aromatics.

Producer
Domaine des Terres de Velle is a small, quality-focused Burgundy producer known for working with exceptional parcels and expressing the character of each site with care and restraint. Its limited holdings and low yields underline a commitment to precision rather than volume, which is especially evident in wines like this Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet. The domaine has earned a reputation for producing refined, terroir-driven Chardonnay with real depth and ageing potential.
