Lemons, limes, and pears can be detected in the nose of the 2003 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes (white). An expressive, pure wine, it displays minerals, sweet lime accents, as well as white fruits in its light to medium-bodied personality. This silky-textured offering is complex, with outstanding depth, yet lacks the finish for an outstanding score. Drink it over the next 7 years.
