2024 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Combettes"

This is the first wine to display any appreciable amount of wood though it remains subtle on the ultra-elegant and expressive nose of rose petal, acacia blossom and carnation along with cool white orchard fruit aromas. There is a beguiling sense of underlying tension to the wonderfully refined middle weight flavors that terminate in a chiseled, bone-dry and impressively persistent finale. This is a classic Combettes of finesse and grace as well as one that should also repay a decade plus of cellaring.
