RATINGS

92-94The Wine Advocate

...attractive aromas of pear, orange oil, toasted hazelnuts and pastry cream...medium to full-bodied, with a richer, more textural and more concentrated profile...

92Vinous / IWC

...quite an intense bouquet with orange sorbet, mint and green apples, well-defined and powerful...palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with a smack of sea salt, good acidity with an almost Meursault-like finish that lingers in the mouth.

91-93Burghound.com

...suggestion of the exotic to the aromas nut oil, pear liqueur and floral nuances...delicious flavors...

17Jancis Robinson

Riper and more intense fruit on the nose...pure citrus...stony, chewy/chalky. So much in the texture here. All in finesse and length on the palate. Piercing freshness and mineral/stony dry finish.

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.
