2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes, Jean-Marc Boillot

2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes, Jean-Marc Boillot

The Boillots’ tiny but highly-regarded Combettes is situated between Les Referts and Champ Canet, at the top of the Puligny slope coming from three small parcels. It’s a truly brilliant wine in 2023, finding the perfect interplay of freshness and richness. It is assertive on the palate with vibrant notes of orange peel, white peach, and spiced pear. The finish offers a tightly coiled wave of minerality. There is grand cru-esque complexity here.

Tasting notes

Very pale colour. Pure white fruit, not quite so characterful, a little more flesh behind, but showing also the sense of fragility which I often find in Combettes these days. The fruit does not persist quite so well at the back as the best of the Jean-Marc Boillot 1ers Crus. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.
