• Tasting notes from William Kelley: "The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is exceptional. It unfolds in the glass with an elegant bouquet of hazelnut cream, ripe lemon and pear. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with considerable depth at the core, whitened by lively acids. This is an excellent result."
