Oak-laden white fruits are found in the aromatic profile of the 2001 Puligny-Montrachet Referts. This detailed, elegant wine is medium-bodied, awash in oak-infused pears, and boasts an exceptionally long finish. My score will appear conservative if this concentrated wine absorbs its overly-assertive oak as it finishes elevage. Projected maturity: 2005-2010.
Maison Louis Latour appears to have faired significantly better than many of its fellow negociants in 2001. "We are very surprised, these were hugely acidic prior to malolactic fermentation but really good afterwards," said Jean-Pierre Jobard, Latour's winemaker. His boss, this firm's director, Louis-Fabrice Latour, added that "we've come to love the 2001 whites with time, they keep improving during elevage and we find that there is, in this vintage, a large step in quality between the village AOC wines and the premier crus."
Maison Louis Latour has a different importer in each state.
