Wine Reviews

Elegant, pure and airy aromas of green apple, lemon rind and pretty floral scents slide gracefully into the plush, round and rich but delicate middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the clean, dry and balanced finale. This classy effort is both lovely and understated.

Another success is the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, tightly wound wine that offers up aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, toasted nuts and buttery pastry. Deep and concentrated.

The palate is well balanced, offering orange peel on the entry, good weight and an appealing waxy texture.

Aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and orange oil introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, round and enveloping wine that’s among the richer, more powerful premiers crus in the range this year. Textural and multidimensional.

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with scents of red apples, orange blossom and crushed stone aromas that gradually gain momentum with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Tropical tones are kept in check by the tension toward the persistent finish. There is a sense of elegance about this Combettes.
