Domaine Dujac Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2022

From a 1.16 ha parcel. A cool, spicy and airy nose blends notes of fresh dark cherry, crushed fennel, rose petal and a whiff of lavender. On the palate the middleweight flavors could pass for a classic Chambolle as they're lacy and refined while displaying solid power on the beautifully complex, long and impeccably well-balanced finale. Lovely juice with excellent development potential. Drink: 2034+. Sweet spot Outstanding.

A dense purple colour. The bouquet is beautiful, very lifted, sensual with violets, as well as savory strawberries, this is very complete with a depth of properly ripe, yet agreeably strict fruit, the stem element perfectly woven in. A really fine, poised long finish. Drink: 2032-2040. - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 94-97 Points.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes opens in the glass with aromas of orange zest, peonies and spices complemented by deep bass notes of plum and cherry. Medium to full-bodied, ample and unctuous, with a broad attack and a rich, layered mid-palate, it concludes with a long, saline finish

The Gevrey Combottes is once again a standout in the Dujac lineup. A discreet and subtle wine, the fruit ripeness is impressive, but it starts slightly closed and really opens on the palate with aromas of pomegranate, kirsch, and violets. The structure is impressive, with tannin that is at once firm but also very fine-grained and elegant. The density is rewarding, and the finish lingers on the palate. The grapes are from their 1.16-hectare site and are fermented as mostly whole clusters before ageing in cask. Drink: 2035-2075.
