- PhilosophyWorthy of a Grand Cru! If there were one single word to define the Aux Combottes Premier Cru, it would be "plenitude". Indeed, its location makes it, in our opinion, one of the finest Premier Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin, if not the finest. Aux Combottes are rich, balanced wines featuring remarkable depth that deserve to be classified as Grand Crus.
- TerroirNiched between its illustrious neighbours - Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru to the north and Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru to the south - Aux Combottes is an exception as it is the only Premier Cru in the long, uninterrupted stretch of Grand Crus that links Gevrey with Morey. This anomaly, which is probably due to an old rivalry between the villages, allows wine lovers to take advantage of enjoying a magnificent Premier Cru that boasts all of the qualities of a Grand Cru!
- Vinification and ageingThe grapes were handpicked and meticulously sorted so as to only keep grapes of the highest quality. The bunches of grapes were destemmed and immediately transferred to tanks. Vinification relied on indigenous yeasts and lasted 20 days, punctuated by very few punch-downs in order to extract the colour and tannins wanted. Ageing lasted 18 months in new oak barrels sourced from the forests of Central France that were selected for the quality of their very fine grain.
- Tasting notesBeautiful red colour. Heady nose, intense and elegant, bearing witness to the ripeness of the grapes. The first scents on the nose are fruity and entirely typical of this climat: black cherry, blackcurrant coulis. Lovely floral aromas (rose and peony) are followed by notes of sugar-coated almonds. The rich aromatic palette opens up to resinous scents of pine and cedar, along with the nuances of freshly sawn oak and even further to warmer nuances of chocolate and cocoa. Extremely elegant start to the palate which offers well-integrated acidity. Flavours of red berry (strawberry and raspberry) coulis lend a hint of sucrosity to this perfectly balanced wine. A magnificent cuvée for laying down as its tannins, which are still a little bold, will mellow over time.
