Gerard Boudot believes his outstanding 1999 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes is the finest wine he has produced from this vineyard since 1992. Produced from over 50 year-old vines, it sports a rich, spice-laden nose as well as a hugely-concentrated, medium-to-full-bodied character. This profound wine has great richness, superb balance, and loads of depth to its stone, liquid mineral, and spice-flavored core. One of the finest 1999 white Burgundies, it will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring and will be exceptional through 2014.
