Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet
Premier Cru Les Combettes
Located at the same altitude of the Bâtard, on the north side of the Puligny appellation, and facing the famous Premier Cru Charmes in Meursault. This is the smallest holding of Puligny from Domaine Leflaive, bringing together the murisaltiens depth with the pulignieusiens minerality and elegance. A true gem!

"Ripe and fleshy, this white features lemon, lime, green apple, honeysuckle and stone flavors. Turns more focused on the finish, where the acidity converges with a note of lemon. Ends with a long, spicy aftertaste."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2024
