Burgundy, France – Hints of almond with peachy and pineapple flavors linger on the palate for a long time, along with caramel, butterscotch and beechnut flavors. Long lasting fruit, very floral, like orange blossoms; very classy and mineral on the finish.

“Unwinding in the glass with aromas of green pear,
peach, orange oil, white flowers and nutmeg, the 2017
Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is fullbodied, ample and fleshy, with a rich core of
concentrated fruit, lively acids and muscular structure,
concluding with a long, saline finish. This is a powerful
but reserved Combettes that’s the most introspective
of these Sauzet wines.
