Tasting notes
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a bit of reduction on the nose, though unlike Jean-Marc Boillot's Les Combettes here it complements the wine and does not occlude its mineralité . The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp tangerine and green apple notes, a dab of lemongrass adding a bit of spice to proceedings. It fans out nicely on the finish, suggesting that this should give 12 to 15 years' drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet with apple blossom, white peach, crushed stone and wet pavement scents, beautifully proportioned and focused. The palate is well balanced, certainly one of the more powerful Premier Crus with outstanding length on the finish thanks to its spicy, stem ginger touch. Outstanding.
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is another one of the high points chez Sauzet this year, offering up aromas of confit citrus, beeswax, crisp stone fruit, white flowers and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's taut and structured, with good depth at the core and chalky dry extract.
