Vincent Girardin Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes 2020 French White Burgundy Wine 750 mL supply

Description

94 rating from  Wine Advocate

“The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is a serious, concentrated wine from a parcel farmed by Germain and his team. Unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, freshly baked bread and light reduction, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and structured, with a tightly wound, racy profile and a saline finish. This is one of the longer-haul prospects in the range this year.” Published: Jan 31, 2023

A source of some of the finest, juicy, silky and elegantly floral Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet lies just to the north of Chassagne-Montrachet, a village with which it shares two of its Grands Crus vineyards: Le Montrachet itself and Bâtard-Montrachet. Its other two, which it owns in their entirety, are Chevalier-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. And still, some of the finest white Burgundy wines come from the prized Premiers Crus vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet. To name a few, Les Pucelles, Le Clavoillon, Les Perrières, Les Referts and Les Combettes, as well as the rest, lie northeast and up slope from the Grands Crus.
