A clean, crisp version, featuring apple, lemon, vanilla and nutmeg flavors corralled by vivid acidity. Long and refreshing, with a lemony, minerally aftertaste. Best from 2021 through 2029. 40 cases imported.

The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes has a higher quantity than even the 2015, perplexing to Edouard Labruyère. It has a rip-roaring, vivacious, energetic bouquet that is surfeit with energy and frisson-so effervescent. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, very good weight in the mouth, fine tension with a precise and quite sustained finish, although it almost seems overshadowed by the aromatics at the moment.
