Note di degustazione
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a more reserved, oyster shell-tinged bouquet that demonstrates more sophistication and nuance compared to Dujac's Combettes. There's almost something Chablis-like about this Puligny, with hints of algae/kelp. However, the aromatics cloud over with some reductive elements. The palate is well-balanced with a lovely slice of sour lemon, fresh and vibrant, tangy with an overtly saline, almost peppery finish. Here, I seek a little more focus and a sense of direction, yet it remains an enticing prospect. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a lively mineral-driven bouquet with hints of shucked oyster shell emerging with time. The palate is very well balanced with impressive substance, veins of desiccated orange peel and quince and just a hint of spice toward the linear finish. This will need a bit of time.
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.
