The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes displays scents of white currants, fresh peach, pear, hazelnuts, and blanched almonds, followed by a full-bodied, satiny and concentrated palate that's muscular and powerful, though it's also more texturally refined.

About this wine
Vincent Girardin is a renowned producer of Burgundy wines, and their Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru is a true gem. 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 characteristic minerality and complexity.
Vincent Girardin has a long history of winemaking in Burgundy, dating back to the 17th century. The family-owned estate has been passed down through generations, and today Vincent Girardin is one of the most respected producers in the region. They are known for their meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and the winery, and their wines are consistently of the highest quality.
The Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru is a classic example of a Burgundy Chardonnay. It is a dry, full-bodied wine with a rich, creamy texture and a complex flavour profile. On the nose, it has aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted nuts, while on the palate it offers flavours of ripe apple, pear, and vanilla. The wine has a long, lingering finish with a touch of minerality.
Vincent Girardin produces a range of other wines from the Burgundy region, including reds made from Pinot Noir grapes and whites made from other Chardonnay vineyards. However, the Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru is one of their most highly-regarded wines, and it is easy to see why. This wine is a true expression of the terroir of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, and it is a must-try for any wine lover.
