Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes unwinds in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, crisp orchard fruit, honeycomb and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad shouldered and powerful, with a dense, blocky profile that is classic Combettes. When I tasted it, the wine was quite reserved and less advanced in its élevage than most of Carillon's other cuvées, but its potential is clearly considerable." 

Burghound, 93 Points 

"A cool, pure, airy and restrained nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of essence of white orchard fruit, citrus and plethora of floral wisps. The equally pure and utterly delicious middle weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel while displaying very fine length on the bitter lemon-inflected finish. This lovely and understated effort should also age gracefully over the next decade." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
