The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru which always suffers millerandage has a taut stony Zen-like bouquet that at the moment is less flattering than the Les Folatières. This is going to bide its time. The palate is pretty complex with a dab of lemon rind a welcome bitterness and salinity plus a very intense finish. The 2022 is one for Puligny diehards. I admire its aloofness and uncompromising nature. (Drink between 2027-2048)
Burghound: 93-96 Points
An even more restrained nose grudgingly offers up its aromas of equally cool Granny Smith apple spice carnation acacia and lemongrass nuances. The lilting but almost painfully intense medium-bodied flavors possess a super-sleek and wonderfully refined texture while displaying stunningly good length on the balanced dry and glossy finish. This is quite simply terrific and a wine that should also amply reward a decade plus of keeping. This effort of 'lace and grace' should be stunning in time. (Drink starting 2034)
