2019 Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes

Aromas of crisp nashi pear, white flowers, pastry cream and apricot preface the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes, a medium to full-bodied wine that's more muscular and concentrated than this year's Folatières, with lively acids and a mouthwatering finish.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru comes from vines in excess of 50-year old vines and was picked on 11 September. It demonstrates more precision and a little more tension than the Les Folatières. This contains a very subtle smokiness that complements the green apple and pear aromas - more Puligny and less exotic than the Folatières. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lovely dried apricot and Clementine notes segue into a very composed finish that lingers with traces of white chocolate on the aftertaste. Excellent.
