RATINGS

93Burghound.com

There is an attractively textured feel to the opulent, concentrated and clearly very ripe medium weight plus flavors that possess good energy on the naturally sweet and mouth coating finish.

92-94The Wine Advocate

..weightless, gracious and impeccable. Soft, floral notes dominate, giving the wine much of its understated, polished personality. A bright, caressing finish rounds things out nicely..open, approachable Puligny. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.

90Stephen Tanzer

Cool aromas of lemon, lime, menthol and coriander. Solidly built...brisk acidity giving a firm edge to the saline lemon and lime flavors.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, Les Combettes

Les Combettes is a 19.4-acre acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. It is on the northern edge of the appellation and borders Meursault. Les Combettes is considered the appellation’s finest Premier Cru, and writer Clive Coates calls Les Combettes “the most complete wine” of the four Premier Cru vineyards in northern Puligny-Montrachet. Les Combettes, he writes, “is a mouthwatering and deliciously elegant combination of Meursault and Puligny, with the steeliness of the latter and the honeysuckle and hazelnut of the former.”

TYPE
