2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes, Domaine Dujac

2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes, Domaine Dujac

Combettes sits on the border of Morey and Gevrey, surrounded on all sides by grands crus. There are many theories as to why this isn’t a grand cru itself, most of which centre on the political angle (a popular theory is although in Gevrey, it is shared amongst many growers from Morey, and the powers that be in Gevrey enjoyed snubbing it for grand cru status). It is a wonderful wine, with extraordinary ageing potential.

Tasting notes

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.
