Tasting Notes

As so often, Combettes is the most unlike its brethren, its extra richness and weight given extra prominence in this powerful vintage. Aromatically too it is currently less developed showing the yeasty, leesy notes of a wine only recently through its malolactic phase. As you work the wine, suddenly a nose of little mandarins and tight citrus fruits contribute, hinting at what is to come. All the material is there but extra time is required for sure. Drink from 2018.

ProducerDomaine Leflaive

The vision of Anne-Claude Leflaive in the 1990s took this Puligny Montrachet Domaine to the heights of white wine production, not only in Burgundy but in the rest of the world. Today, her nephew Brice de La Morandière - who has had a successful career running multinational companies - continues her philosophy of organic, biodynamic viticulture, bringing Chardonnay grapes to their best possible expression in Grand Cru and Premier Cru climates, where the terroir has been restored to health by natural practices.

*These wines are not available for non-UK based customers.

Tasting Notes

The aromatics are at the grapefruit end of the citric spectrum. On the palate, the wine feels tender and delicate at first but it builds in the mouth and then shows clear intensity on the finish, giving a real saline burst. Another one that is asking for time.
