The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes once again dares to challenge—and to my palate, surpass—Leflaive's Pucelles. Exhibiting aromas of peach, pear, nutmeg, pastry cream and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, resonant finish. This old-vine parcel was reprieved from planned replanting several years ago, and today's farming choices mean that it's going strong. - Wine Advocate Firm reduction masks the nuance of what appears to be ripe fruit. The middle weight flavors possess a highly sophisticated mouthfeel that is at once delicate but quite punchy while exuding a subtle minerality on the bone-dry finale that just goes one and on. This compact and very tightly wound effort makes it unequivocally clear that this is built to reward extended keeping and like the Folatières, it possesses enormous presence. Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding! - Burghound |
