Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Combettes', Domaine Robert Ampeau et Fils, 1997

Est. delivery in summer 2025

One of Puligny's top Premier Crus that shares a border with Meursault and the wines are typically rounder and more generous as you might expect. This is fresh and aromatic with magnificent, mature aromas and a lingering, mineral finish. Simply stunning.

The first 2025 release of mature vintages straight from the cellars of Domaine Robert Ampeau gives a very rare opportunity to enjoy Premier Crus back to 1990, at prices that are practically at the level of recent En Primeur releases. For such venerable bottles ex-estate, the following cuvées should prove very attractive indeed.

From this parcel, the white wines are available to buy together with the reds. Please enquire

As these wines have remained unmoved in the cold cellars at Ampeau since bottling, the conditions for a very slow, undisturbed ageing are perfect, showing impressive vivacity and freshness alongside the obvious mature fruit character. Given the nature of the wines, we are unable to offer credit for corked/out of condition bottles, but our experience with these bottles is that the condition and ex-cellar provenance is impeccable.
