Sauzet, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Combettes

A powerful nose so intense you can smell the ripeness of the year but without any evidence alcohol. On the palate, a massive fruit bomb, like a grand cru. Long and meaty fruit, chewy, with dried apricot. Very lacy in texture too, a combination of power and finesse, like Combettes at its essence; as good an expression of Chardonnay as you are going to get and still just be a premier cru.

Sauzet, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Combettes 2024	94-96 Vinous : The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru comes from a single block towards the north part of the vineyard. There is a lovely smokiness on the nose, crushed stone and light sea spray scents deftly translating the pedigree of Combettes. The palate is fresh and sapid on the entry. This is nicely detailed, citrus-fresh towards the finish that lingers in the mouth. It is a Puligny that you really appreciate in retrospect and tempts you back for another sip. The 2023 was great…likewise the follow-up. 93-95 Wine Advocate The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is lovely, offering up aromas of honeyed orchard fruits, toasted nuts, white flowers and deftly judged reduction, followed by a full-bodied, ample and satiny palate with exceptional volume and density for the vintage, concluding with a long and expansive finish.
