As a wine connoisseur, drinking the 2015 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet les Combettes is like a journey through the extraordinary landscape of France's Burgundy region, specifically the Cote de Beaune sub-region. This wine is an exceptional expression of the Chardonnay varietal, and another laudable achievement by the renowned Domaine Leflaive.

The wine's appearance is a captivating white, indicative of its type and varietal. The first whiff greets you with a classic bouquet of apple, pear, lime, grapefruit pith and almond cream - a symphony of aromas that rouses your senses, making you anticipate the first sip.

The palate experience of this wine is nothing short of spectacular. It is full-bodied, glossy, and carries a depth at its core that speaks to its superior quality. Its great concentration and chewy extract are beautifully balanced by succulent acids, culminating in a finish that is pure and precise. The wine's inherent mid-palate heft is reminiscent of Bâtard-Montrachet, yet it maintains a beautiful poise and control that is a signature of Domaine Leflaive's craftsmanship.

This wine is intense yet reticent, slowly unfurling its floral, apple, lemon and mineral flavors. Its lingering finish of lemon, stone and spice is a testament to its exceptional quality. With scores of 93 and 96 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator respectively, it's clear that this wine is a standout. A wine that promises an exquisite evolution, it is best enjoyed from 2020 to 2032. For those who appreciate the finesse and subtleties of a finely crafted Chardonnay, the 2015 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet les Combettes is a must-try.
