Aromatically, the 2000 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes is more reminiscent of an Alsatian Riesling with its crisp apple and verbena scents than a wine from the Cote de Beaune. Zesty, loaded with minerals, this is a lively, focused, zippy wine that will be admired by those who shy away from lush, opulent, hedonistic offerings. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012.
