The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has what I might call a "cerebral" nose: it blossoms in the glass, a little more pithy with perhaps a touch more solids. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity, very good tension and energy and a hint of orange pith towards the finish. I admit…I had to swallow this wine. Fabulous. 95 points.
