"A gorgeously refined and sophisticated nose blends high-toned and pure floral notes that evidence nuances of green apple, brioche and wet stone that marry into rich, stylish and reserved medium full-bodied flavors that possess a seductively textured mouth feel due to the huge amounts of dry extract that stains the palate on the explosive and impressively long finish. This is an example of Combettes at its finest, which is to say a wine that combines good flesh, power and superb refinement. Like the Perrières, this is a knockout."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
