Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes 1. Cru 2019

Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1. Cru 2019 is a strikingly complete expression of one of Puligny’s most admired premier cru sites. It brings together Sauzet’s hallmark precision and elegance with the vintage’s naturally generous, ripe character, resulting in a wine of both finesse and presence. Historically, Les Combettes sits close to the border of Meursault, which helps give the wine a touch of breadth and creaminess alongside Puligny’s classic mineral line.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows impressive depth and immediate appeal, with a luminous, polished appearance and a highly expressive aromatic profile. On the nose, it opens with ripe pear, white flowers, beeswax, spice, and subtle citrus, gradually revealing more nuance with air. On the palate, it is powerful, concentrated, and texturally rich, with layered notes of white peach, lemon cream, mandarin oil, and stone fruit. A pronounced mineral core provides focus and tension, while the well-integrated acidity keeps the wine balanced and prevents it from feeling heavy. The finish is long and persistent, echoing citrus oil, warm spice, and saline minerality. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, and it should gain even more complexity and harmony over time.

Production
Les Combettes is a premier cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, positioned on the edge of Meursault, where the terroir often combines Puligny’s tension with a slightly fuller, more generous texture. While detailed vinification specifics are not provided here, the wine’s depth, precision, and layered structure suggest careful cellar work designed to preserve site expression and varietal purity.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken with cream sauce, or mushroom risotto. Serve it at around 11–13°C to best show its aromatics and texture. Decanting is recommended in its youth, especially if you want to soften the wine’s intensity and allow its mineral and aromatic nuances to fully unfold.
