| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Robert Pavlovich on 6/4/2022: Surprise surprise, another really good ‘96 white. Well resolved, and quite ethereal as it floats on the palate in a weightless manner, very elegant with lots of mineral impressions flowing. It may be on its way down soon but there is serious beauty to behold here with attractive fruit and life left, as if to say, “remember to visit.” (446 views) | | | Tasted by Mingmong on 3/27/2012 & rated 91 points: Rich honeyed, caramel and nutty nose. Mature peach and starfruit. Good balanced citrusy notes along with firm acidity. Old pineapples on the finish. (2032 views) | | | Tasted by PatrikO on 10/11/2010 flawed bottle: What a hopeless case, 6 out of 9 bottles so far have been pre oxidized. (1785 views) | | | Tasted by DAN BAILEY on 10/30/2008 flawed bottle: Served as pair with 96 Sauzet Referts. Surprisingly, the Carillon was the one poxed rather than the Sauzet. Darker colour, slightly lactic/stale/cheesy nose. However, uite a nice delicate, persistent length. (1839 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 10/30/2008: Burgundy Pairs (Le Colombier, London): With its sweaty oxidised nose, this wasn't very appetising, but it was rather better on the palate with its round tropical fruit - but clearly a victim of the pox (2508 views) |

| Louis CarillonAs of the 2010 vintage, Domaine Louis Carillon doesn't exist. The domaine's holdings were split between Louis' sons - Francois and Jacques. Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeLes Referts On weinlagen-info
Les Referts is a Premier Cru vineyard in the famed Puligny-Montrachet appellation of Burgundy's Cote de Nuits sub-region. Like most of the village, Les Referts is planted to Chardonnay, although this vineyard's position at the base of the hill gives a slightly richer, generally less floral wine than is usually associated with Puligny-Montrachet wines.
The 5.5 hectare (13 acre) site lies north of Puligny town, on the commune boundary with Meursault. Meursault's Charmes vineyard is just across the road.
In Puligny-Montrachet commune itself, Les Referts sits below the Les Combettes vineyard to the west with Les Perrières running along the slope to the southwest. The vineyards below, to the east of Les Referts, are only classified for use in village-level wines.
Les Referts' position at the base of the slope means that while the soil is still calcareous, it is deeper and slightly richer here. This clayey marl has a higher proportion of iron, betrayed by its red color, and the wines are more muscular and heavier than most Puligny-Montrachet as a result.
The vineyard has a gentle slope, facing southeast and giving the vines plenty of exposure to the morning and early afternoon sun. However, Les Referts is less exposed to cooler influences than in the vineyards at slightly higher elevations, and so there is sometimes a tendency for the grapes to overripen and lose acidity.
Les Referts Premier Cru wines are often compared to Meursault wines rather than Puligny as they are more closely aligned with the signature style of that commune.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
