The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage, before being bottled and released to the market. The Puligny-Montrachet - Les Combettes - 1er Cru is a complex and elegant wine with a rich bouquet of citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, with a long and lingering finish. This wine is best enjoyed with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes. Overall, Bouchard Pere & Fils is a producer that is known for its commitment to quality and tradition. The Puligny-Montrachet - Les Combettes - 1er Cru is a testament to the company's dedication to producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of Burgundy.
