  Mineral. Mostly secondary aromas but with plenty of tertiary present as well. Floral, honey. Mineral on the palate.
  
  Domaine Jacques Prieur, offers one of the greatest ranges of wine in all Burgundy in terms of grand climats. Most of their vineyards are biologique. Whites are vinified at 20-22C and given 30-100% new wood. The better wines are bottled after 18-20 months. Batonnage takes place until the end of malo.
  
  Les Combettes is the jewel among the climats adjacent to Mersault-Perrieres. Producers the plump and complete wine, mouth-watering and deliciously elegant combination of Meursault and Puligny, with the steeliness of the latter and the honeysuckle and hazelnut of the former. It is one of the most flavor-packed taste experiences you are likely to encounter.
  
  2005 is a very high quality vintage both for reds and whites. However, whites are mostly too ripe and rich, and despite their impressive power and concentration generally lack the elegance and refinement of the greatest vintages.

  Ce nez de pomme verte, de levures, de vin pas fini ou défait, c'est tout sauf un puligny, ni même de chardonnay, cela ne ressemble à rien, et comme le corton-charlemagne de 2005, il est singulièrement entaché par des notes de premox.
  Il semblerait que le domaine ait eu un souci avec ses blancs en 2005…

While more mature than I'd hope/prefer at this age, it shows lots of ripe apple and dried apricot with oak spice and toasted almonds. This was nicely drinkable for over an hour, even if on a gradual decline. This has the material to have been a much nicer wine 5 years ago.
