Tasting notes
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with scents of red apples, orange blossom and crushed stone aromas that gradually gain momentum with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Tropical tones are kept in check by the tension toward the persistent finish. There is a sense of elegance about this Combettes, which so delicious that it will be difficult to resist cracking it open young. (DIAM GC closure)

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes (Domaine Louis Jadot) is a decided success, offering up notes of ripe citrus fruit, white flowers, honeycomb, blanched almonds and mint. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, glossy and layered, with tangy acids, excellent depth at the core and a long, mouthwatering finish.
