justerini & brooks tasting note

A stop you in your tracks wine, very close to Grand Cru quality, long, highly charged and powerful with a stylish silkiness too. Intense flavours of earth, mineral butter, lime and wild blossom honey, the melt in the mouth flavours are bright rich and last for an eternity. Breathtaking. In the hands of Sauzet this one of the great Premiers Crus of Puligny, up there with Leflaive’s Pucelles.

critic reviews

91+/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes from Etienne Sauzet has an attractive bouquet featuring scents of lemon curd and orange pith behind the crushed stone aromas, although it does not quite deliver the same precision as Leflaive’s Combette. The palate is well balanced with just a touch of reduction on the entry and a fine bead of acidity. Quite saline in the mouth, although it needs a tad more length. Overall, a fine Combettes, but I might just afford it another couple of years in bottle. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2010 white burgundy tasting in London.
