"Produced from 45 year old vines and aged in 40% new oak barrels, the Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes is a stunning wine. While less expressive aromatically than the Champs-Canet, it exhibits tantalizing floral scents. On the palate, this offering explodes with concentrated, lively, complex, and gorgeously-defined honeysuckle, candied almonds, roasted hazelnuts, pears, anise, and white flowers. Medium-to-full-bodied and velvety-textured, this bright yet fat wine beautifully combines Boudot's rich winemaking style with this vintage's bright acidity. Wow!"
