Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 2017 is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from the lieu-dit of Les Combettes in the village of Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. The wines of Etienne Sauzet are among the most sought-after in Puligny. The Premiers and Grands Crus, in particular, tend to be models of concentration with restraint. Etienne Sauzet tends to dial down the use of new oak, preferring a level of around 20% new for its 1er Cru Chardonnays. The domaine vineyards have been farmed biodynamically since 2010. On the 2017 Les Combettes. "An admirably cool yet ripe nose offers up notes of white peach, honeysuckle, wet stone and soft spice nuance. The impressively-scaled, rich, full-bodied and palate staining broad-shouldered flavours brim with dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the very firm acid spine shaping the wonderfully complex and lingering finish. This beauty is perhaps a bit more muscular than usual for a classic Combettes but the natural finesse is still present. Excellent." Burghound, 2019
