The gorgeous 2018 Domaine Leflaive Les Combettes Premier Cru showcases one of Burgundy’s benchmark estates at full stride. Sourced from old vines bordering Meursault Charmes, the wine balances the richness of the warm vintage with Puligny’s signature lift, minerality, and tension, delivering a powerful yet precise Chardonnay.

Vinous | 93-95 Points

"The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru suffered more millerandage than others this year. In fact, Brice de la Morandière confessed that the vines are constantly being threatened with being grubbed up and they will review the situation every three years. This has a taut nose, very well defined, and more reserved and stonier than the Clavoillon, with alpine streams and dewy pasture scents unfurling in the glass. The well-balanced plate displays a saline tang on the entry, just a touch of orange peel and quite a spicy, persistent finish. Excellent."

This is an immaculate 6 pack OWC of 2018 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes Premier Cru, from one of white Burgundy’s benchmark estates.

Les Combettes comes from a tiny 1.8 acre parcel in Puligny Montrachet, directly bordering Meursault Charmes. It delivers the best of both worlds, the depth and texture of Meursault with the precision, lift, and minerality of Puligny. Old vines planted in 1963 and 1972 bring added concentration and complexity.

The 2018 vintage shows the warmth of the growing season, yet Leflaive keeps everything in balance with bright acidity, tension, and a long clean finish. It is rich without feeling heavy, powerful while still elegant. Exactly what you want from top end white Burgundy.

Condition is exactly what serious collectors look for, original wood case, pristine bottles, and impeccable provenance throughout.
