Tasting notes
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru has a mild-mannered bouquet that unfolds in the glass with pretty red berry fruit, sous-bois and more mineralité than its peers in this flight. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasing sharpness on the entry: blackcurrant and raspberry fruit, a touch of allspice with a sprinkling of white pepper on the finish. Good structure here, decent substance. Just afford this a couple of years in bottle and you should have a fine Gevrey in your possession. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru is very convincing on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, forest floor, hints of crushed limestone and orange zest. So much vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully integrated oak, fine-grain tannins, taut and linear with a sublime, quite persistent finish that you just want to keep drinking again and again. Outstanding.
Sensual and perfumed, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, petals, raw cocoa and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping palate, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.
