Ripe and extremely opulent intense citrus fruit and white flowers coupled with medium weight flavors dripping with minerality and enough fat to buffer the bracing acidity. There is a subtle underlying complexity and this is remarkably intense, assertive and precise yet there is excellent power and depth as well. Outstanding ♥

(WA89-92 points) With the exception of the estate’s Montrachet, my favorite 2001 from this famed domaine is the Puligny-Montrachet Combettes. Its beguiling nose reveals spiced/poached pear scents. On the palate, this light to medium-bodied offering reveals outstanding depth of fruit, a satiny texture, harmony, and loads of lush mineral, candied citrus, and spice flavors. It is supple, forward, broad, and seamless. Projected maturity: now-2008. - Pierre Rovani
