94+ points View From the Cellar: “The domaine has two parcels in Combettes, with the smaller parcel planted with fourteen year-old vines and right next to Dominique Lafon’s Meursault Charmes’ vines, but the majority in the center of Combettes and planted with fifty-eight year-old, selection massale vines. The 2014 Combettes is simply stunning, delivering a deep and vibrant bouquet of apple, white peach, lemon il, chalky minerality, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and very energetic, with a rock solid core, laser-like focus and superb length and grip on the crisp and utterly seamless finish. Brilliant juice.” 

94 points Vinous: “Bright, pale yellow. Pure, vibrant scents of white peach, hazelnut and menthol complicated by sexy leesy nuances. Rich and sappy in the mouth, conveying compelling sweetness of fruit for a firmly dry wine. Orchard fruit and mineral flavors spread out to saturate the palate without leaving any impression of weight. A layer of dusty minerality leaves the mouth vibrating on the very long, subtle aftertaste. Over the past 25+ years (I can still taste the 1986!), this wine has been one of my go-to Burgundy premier crus, along with such other consistently outstanding—and equally pricey—gems as Jean-Marc Pillot’s Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers Clos Saint-Marc, Ramonet’s Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes, Lafon’s Meursault Charmes, Coche-Dury’s Meursault Perrières and Henri Boillot’s Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère.”
