"The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has what I might call a "cerebral" nose: it blossoms in the glass, a little more pithy with perhaps a touch more solids. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity, very good tension and energy and a hint of orange pith towards the finish. I admit…I had to swallow this wine. Fabulous."

"A bright, perfumed white, boasting floral, white peach, lemon zest and pastry aromas and flavors. Silky in texture and harmonious, this persists on the long, vanilla- and mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2033."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
