Note di degustazione
The 1990 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes 1er Cru is an absolutely sensational wine that boasts astonishing detail on the nose, unbelievably fresh considering the warmth of the growing season, the stem addition completely subsumed. Hints of sage and oregano are discretely embroidered into the black fruit, later some gorgeous loam-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, perfect acidity and with just a pinch of black pepper seasoning the black fruit. This is not just well balanced, but conveys an unerring sense of symmetry that leaves you awestruck. With aeration I notice more fruit and just a hint of balsamic towards the finish. Brilliant. Tasted at Tour d’Argent restaurant in Paris.

The Gevrey-Chambertin-Les Combottes, from a premier cru vineyard that is superbly situated between Latricieres-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche, is medium to dark ruby-colored, with a super-ripe, expansive bouquet of jammy fruit, cinnamon, and roasted nuts. In the mouth, it is voluptuously textured, with round, juicy, succulent fruit, and a spicy, velvety, full-bodied finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Jacques Seysses is immensely proud of his 1990s, proclaiming them the finest wines he has made since 1978. He said the same thing about his 1985s, but I agree that the 1990s appear to have greater potential for longevity. Importers: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY, Chambers and Chambers, San Francisco, CA, and a handful of other importers who import Dujac's wines directly into their respective states.
