Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes – 2010 -Vinous – 94 Points
The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has just a touch of reduction on the nose, but far less than Fichet’s Les Referts tasted alongside, thus allowing the mineralité to show through, along with hints of custard creams and fresh figs in the background. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, offering citrus fruit mixed with black currant leaf and crushed stone, and delivering real tension and penetration toward the finish. This is impressive. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2010 white burgundy tasting in London.

Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes – 2010 – 95 points – Wine Enthusiast
“With its structured, mineral character, this is a serious, age worthy wine. It has a sense of coiled power and steel and a dense, complex texture that brings out both its ripe, pure fruit character and its intensity.”
