Heavy sulfur dominates the nose at present though there is ample concentration and vivacity to the solidly powerful and subtly mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in a long, sappy and delicious finish. There is the typical generosity, size and elegance of a classic Combettes allied with lovely detail if not the sheer depth of the amazing Folatières. ♥ - Comments: Outstanding

The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes is open, rich and seductive. White flowers, citrus, spices and mint are woven together in this expressive, generous wine. As is often the case, the Combettes is quite overt in its fruit. The long, radiant finish makes it hard to resist a second taste. The Combettes will appeal most to readers who appreciate textural richness in white Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. -Antonio Galloni

This is a floral wine that combines structure, firm acidity and intensely ripe fruit. Flavors of green fruit, citrus, toast and some smoke give complexity to this concentrated, full-bodied effort.
