The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes displays scents of white currants, fresh peach, pear, hazelnuts and blanched almonds, followed by a full-bodied, satiny and concentrated palate that's muscular and powerful, though it's also more texturally refined than it was when I tasted it from barrel. Germain notes that this parcel has been converted to Guyot Poulsard pruning and is being farmed organically, so he expects it to improve further.
