Note di degustazione
(from vines planted in 1957 on sandy soil near Clos de la Roche): Bright dark red. Alluring perfume of raspberry, flowers and minerals. Sweet but taut, combining a pliant texture and terrific inner-mouth energy. The wine's red fruit flavors are given added punch by a pungent mineral component. Finishes extremely long, with noble tannins. Looks to be a great vintage for this bottling. This site is better placed than Lignier's Charmes-Chambertin (actually Mazoyères) and often does spectacularly well in warmer years.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes has a tightly wound bouquet with crisp red berry fruit, wet limestone and flinty scents that are subtle at first but unfurl with just a few swirls of the glass. This has a sophisticated bouquet that keeps you engaged from first encounter. The palate is beautifully defined with superb mineralité, a little edginess developing towards the finish that shimmers with nervosité. The small amount of whole bunch fruit allows the terroir to really shine through here. This is superb and it will offer 20+ years of drinking pleasure (though I personally would afford it 3-5 years in bottle).
Solid and dense, from 1957 vines. Lots of undertow but the feet are definitely on the ground – without the lift and grace of the best Moreys. Muscular. A bit stolid. (JR)
