Description

Burgundy is a land destined for wine by nature. In its millennial history, it has intimately linked man to the vine in some places. In Puligny-Montrachet, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Leflaive family has been established for more than three centuries.

Burgundy’s wines have acquired a simple and unique reputation: they are the best Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs in the world. Each appellation comes from a specific place, a parcel of vines often of modest size: these famous “Climats” form the basis of the Burgundy model. The diversity of Burgundy’s wines is also found in its 84 appellations, from the grands crus at the top of the pyramid through the premiers crus and the villages to the regional AOCs. More than a classification or a nomenclature, these are names that amateurs dream about: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Corton, Meursault... Or even, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, where the Leflaive family has been established since 1717.

A lush, generous style, this white delivers peach, mango, apple, lime blossom, citronella and mineral flavors that build and build on the palate. They culminate in a long, expansive finish that expresses detail and delicacy. Shows excellent harmony and grace. Drink now through 2036.

Review
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has what I might call a "cerebral" nose: it blossoms in the glass, a little more pithy with perhaps a touch more solids. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity, very good tension and energy and a hint of orange pith towards the finish. I admit…I had to swallow this wine. Fabulous, Drink 2025–2050.
