Puligny-Montrachet, Les Combettes, 1er Cru, 2024
One of the great Puligny vineyards, but not always the easiest to see into in youth, such is the sheer power and scale of the wine. Very much on the road to Grand Cru quality, with real density concentration and intensity, yet for all the power and drive this has impeccable balance. Muscular yellow fruit and dry extract. Very serious indeed.
critic reviews
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru comes from a single block towards the north part of the vineyard. There is a lovely smokiness on the nose, crushed stone and light sea spray scents deftly translating the pedigree of Combettes. The palate is fresh and sapid on the entry. This is nicely detailed, citrus-fresh towards the finish that lingers in the mouth. It is a Puligny that you really appreciate in retrospect and tempts you back for another sip. The 2023 was great…likewise the follow-up.
