The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru was allowed to open over 5-10 minutes. Plenty of undergrowth aromas with shaved black truffle, transparent and focused on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with tertiary red fruit and fine acidity, just missing some structure and grip towards the finish. I would just like to see a little more backbone on this Combottes, a bit more density.
