This 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Combettes’ from Domaine Leflaive, a benchmark producer, will express a remarkable balance of richness and tension. Expect a vibrant bouquet of white flowers, lemon zest, green apple, and a distinct mineral backbone, often evolving into notes of hazelnut, toasted almond, and a subtle touch of brioche with age. The palate will be precise and energetic, with a concentrated core of fruit, saline minerality, and beautifully integrated acidity. The finish is long, complex, and persistent, showcasing the vineyard’s prestige and the producer’s masterful touch. Given its youth, it will be quite taut and fresh, promising significant development.
