Vincent Girardin Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru 2020 [NET] 070226ROBUST followed by 18 to 36Les Combettes sits right on the border between Puligny Montrachet and Meursault, and the wines have a famous split personality Puligny's nervy tension and crystalline minerality meeting Meursault's broader, nuttier richness. It's one of the great 1er Crus of the Cte d'Or, period. 2020 was a sun soaked vintage that gave Girardin's whites depth and energy in equal measure. Offered net of import.
