The 2016 Pernand Vergelesses Combottes is two-thirds of the normal crop (better than the Croix de Pierre). This sample sported a pleasant reduction on the nose with sufficient fruit tucked behind. The palate is ripe and rounded on the entry. This is quite rich and lightly honeyed in texture though perhaps at the expense of some detail and tension on the finish. But it will offer four or five years of drinking pleasure.
