RATINGS

91-93The Wine Advocate

...richer and more layered, revealing aromas of pear, orange oil, baking spices, white flowers and honey, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated palate, concluding with a saline finish.

91-93Vinous / IWC

...palate is tensile on the entry, fine acidity and salinity, touches of Clementine and bitter lemon enlivening the finish.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Green hints in mid lemon hue; weighted citrus, freshness and minerals.

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

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
