The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet La Combette 1er Cru has a wonderful, tensile, energetic bouquet with even more mineralité than the excellent Chalumaux. The palate is very well balanced with lemon rind, orange pith and mandarin, good extract and density towards the finish with quite a spicy, stem ginger and lemongrass tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Superb. (NM)

Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to accurately assess. More interesting are the finer and more elegant though less concentrated middle weight flavors exude a subtle stoniness on the lingering and almost delicate finale. This sleek effort is already quite harmonious and a wine that should drink well both young and with up to a decade of bottle age. *Outstanding*
