2001 | Domaine Matrot | Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes

Ripe and extremely opulent intense citrus fruit and white flowers coupled with medium weight flavors dripping with minerality and enough fat to buffer the bracing acidity.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: With the exception of the estate’s Montrachet, my favorite 2001 from this famed domaine is the Puligny-Montrachet Combettes. Its beguiling nose reveals spiced/poached pear scents. On the palate, this light to medium-bodied offering reveals outstanding depth of fruit, a satiny texture, harmony, and loads of lush mineral, candied citrus, and spice flavors. It is supple, forward, broad, and seamless.

• Stephen Tanzer: Pale color. Peach, nectarine, smoke and butter on the nose. Rich but bright in the mouth; despite its brisk citrus flavors, this gives a sweeter impression in the mid-palate than the Folatieres. Then quite dry and spicy on the end, with butter and sulfide notes.
