Les Combettes sits at Puligny's northern edge, where the appellation meets Meursault — long cited alongside Pucelles and Folatières among the village's finest premiers crus. The domaine owns no vines here: this is the brothers' small purchased-fruit cuvée, credited in the critical press to Benoît & Jean-Baptiste Bachelet and raised with the same regime as the estate wines — native yeasts, long press cycles, nearly two years on the lees before a mid-2025 bottling. The house's 2023 whites landed at a fresh 13 to 13.5 degrees.
Cellaring perspective
Combettes gives the roundest reading of Puligny — its Meursault border shows — and 2023's generosity leans the same way, with the Bachelet élevage supplying the spine. Give it until the late 2020s, then a decade; the cru's history says the wait is honoured.

What does the fill level and condition tell you about this bottle?
