Puligny Combettes, Louis Jadot 2018

Aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and orange oil introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, round and enveloping wine that's among the richer, more powerful premiers crus in the range this year. Textural and multidimensional, it will offer a broad drinking window.

Waxy lemons and fleshy pears on the nose with a hint of gun smoke and white pepper. The palate starts broadly, with juicy stone fruits at the core. There is a freshness of acid that adds a mineral tension through the mid palate, but this is still a generous, ripe and wonderfully approachable Combettes.
