Electric Combettes delivering pure Puligny tension with surgical precision.

Razor-sharp citrus drives this taut Combettes. Lemon zest and lime pith fill the glass. Chalky minerals coat the palate. Saline waves crash through the finish. No excess fat here - just pure, concentrated energy. The oak whispers beneath limestone intensity. This 2016 needs time to fully express its breeding. Drink now for precision or cellar for complexity. Classic premier cru structure.
