Tasting notes

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes has a focused, Granny Smith apple and wet granite-scented bouquet that maybe does not quite have the vigor of the Champs-Gains at the moment. The palate is crisp on the entry with fine focus, again, commendable salinity here with excellent precision on the persistent finish. Once the aromatics enter their stride, this should be a superb Puligny from Bouchard Père. One to watch out for.

About this wine

Bouchard Pere & Fils is a renowned wine producer based in Burgundy, France. The company has a rich history dating back to 1731 when Michel Bouchard founded the winery. Since then, the company has been passed down through generations of the Bouchard family and has become one of the most respected wine producers in the world.

The Puligny-Montrachet - Les Combettes - 1er Cru is one of the most sought-after wines produced by Bouchard Pere & Fils. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Combettes vineyard, which is located in the heart of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. The vineyard is known for its limestone-rich soil, which gives the wine its unique minerality and complexity.

The production process for this wine is meticulous and involves hand-harvesting the grapes, followed by a gentle pressing to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented in oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity and add complexity to the wine. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage, before being bottled and released to the market.

The Puligny-Montrachet - Les Combettes - 1er Cru is a complex and elegant wine with a rich bouquet of citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, with a long and lingering finish. This wine is best enjoyed with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.

Overall, Bouchard Pere & Fils is a producer that is known for its commitment to quality and tradition. The Puligny-Montrachet - Les Combettes - 1er Cru is a testament to the company's dedication to producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of Burgundy.
