Tasting notes
The Gevrey-Chambertin-Les Combottes is much more decadent and showy than the Chambolle-Musigny-Les Fremieres. The sweet nose of coffee, caramel, black-cherries, and earth is a turn-on. In the mouth, this full-bodied, voluptuously textured, superbly concentrated wine with no hard edges exhibits lavish quantities of jammy fruit buttressed nicely by new oak, decent acidity, and moderate tannins. Although precocious, it needs another 4-5 years to develop even further, and should last for 20-25 years. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.
