Les Heritiers Saint Genys Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2021《ZTF135》

Les Heritiers Saint-Genys is a new winery in Chassagne-Montrachet, acquired by Patrice du Jeu and his uncle in 2011. Jean Baptiste Alinc serves as winemaker and cellar master.

The winery has vineyards in various appellations, including Côte de Beaune, Côte Châlonnaise, and Beaujolais. In 2016, it even acquired a dedicated vineyard, Clos Marcilly, in Mercurey, totaling approximately 13 hectares. They avoid herbicides and minimize the use of chemical pesticides. In 2017, they even implemented animal traction to maintain vineyard health.

Although the winery may not have much of a history, its wine review scores are exceptionally high! James Suckling has rated none of their wines below 90 points, with many in the 95s and even reaching 98!

Puligny Montrachet is widely recognized as the most noble and elegant village in all of Burgundy. Headlined by the Grand Cru Montrachet, the king of white wines, it exemplifies the pinnacle of Chardonnay.

Les Referts Premier Cru faces southeast, enjoying ample morning and afternoon sunshine. Located at the base of a slope, the soil is deeper and more fertile, containing more calcium and iron. The resulting wines are fuller-bodied and richer, with fruit aromas more pronounced than floral, often described as "Meursault Village style."
