"The Sauzet 2010 Combettes is very reminiscent of this boittling chez Leflaive, with the supreme elegance of the vintage very much in evidence on the both the nose and palate. The deep, brilliantly pure and quite reserved nose offers up a complex mélange of apple, lemon, tart orange, kaleidoscopic minerality, citrus zest, lemon blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and magically pure on the attack, with a very reserved personality, a creamy core of fruit, ripe, snappy acids and brilliant focus and balance on the utterly seamless, young and endless finish. A brilliant wine."
