Note di degustazione
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Combettes 1er Cru sports a heavy reduction on the nose that partially obscures the terroir, but there is real intensity and drive here. The palate is medium-bodied with a reductive opening from which it never quite extricates itself. Very intense, with a bit of alcohol blurring the finish, this is a Puligny that I would serve a degree below room temperature to maximize its impact. This Combettes needs time to properly cohere. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

I'm inclined to nominate the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes as Leflaive's finest premier cru this year. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, citrus oil, fresh peach, toasted nuts and smoke, it's full-bodied, rich and satiny, with an immensely concentrated and incisive profile. Taut and chiseled despite its mid-palate plenitude, it's built to cellar.
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru is a step up in terms of mineralité and terroir expression from the preceeding Folatières. There is more precision, greater expression of place. The palate sports a very small reduction on the entry, then it segues into a very concentrated mid-palate that seems to fill the mouth. Great depth and spiciness towards the finish, this is an outstanding Combettes from Leflaive. Closure: Diam 30
