Produced from 12-year old vines, the spiced almond butter-scented 2003 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes (white) displays excellent depth of fruit as well as a silky-textured, light to medium-bodied personality. Sappy minerals are intermingled with pears in its angle-free, lengthy character. It should be drunk over the next 5 years.
