Combettes is on the border with Meursault, near Perrieres. As you might expect this has an interesting nuttiness, fine minerality, and a certain angular quality I very much like. Prominent pine, citrus and mineral notes give this wine lots of nervous energy. (Ketih Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer, 03/08) This relatively new domaine was founded in 1975 and makes the very most of its 8 hectares (6 to white grapes, including a small amount of Aligote, and 2 to pinot noir) of vineyards scattered throughout Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Meursault, Saint-Aubin et Auxey Duresses. Harvest is entirely by hand, fermentation occurs in oak barrels, of which 25-33% are new, according to the grandiosity of the appellation. And fining and filtration are looked down upon. The result is quality red and white burgundy at a seriously good value, amplified by the fact that this estate continues to be relatively unkown in the U.S.
