Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2004

Ripe, bright aromas of peach, pear and hazelnut; tastes like Puligny on the border with Meursault, which is what it is. Fat, thick and sweet but given definition and energy by lovely ripe acids. Enticing flavors of lemon, peach and baking spices. Long, mounting finish features terrific breadth of flavor leavened by piquant acidity. Very impressive.

Score 91-93/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Pierre Rovani, Feb 2004

Super-ripe, spicy, rich, almond aromas are found in the nose of the 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes. This medium-bodied, rich, broad, plush wine is spicy, packed with mocha, poached pears, and yellow plums. Fresh, complex, and dense, it is a candidate for drinking between 2005 and 2012. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
