Francois Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 2017

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes unwinds in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, crisp orchard fruit, honeycomb and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad shouldered and powerful, with a dense, blocky profile that is classic Combettes.

The wine was quite reserved and less advanced in its élevage than most of Carillon's other cuvées, but its potential is clearly considerable.
