(BH92-94 points) Soft wood frames notably ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic white orchard fruit aromas that display pretty top notes of acacia blossom and citrus peel scents. There is excellent volume and plenty of mid-palate concentration to the mouth coating middle weight flavors that offer outstanding intensity and drive on the beautifully well-balanced finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. Terrific.

(WA91-93 points) The 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Combettes is much more expressive on the nose, doling out pressed yellow flower scents and apricot blossom -- a very come-hither nose. The palate is very well balanced, lively in the mouth, edgy compared to the Folatières with a primal finish. There is just a touch of shrillness on the aftertaste, but that should dissipate by the time of bottling and leave a very fine Puligny Combettes that should age with style. - Neal Martin
