The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes opens with freshly cut flowers, sweet spices and minerals.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes opens with freshly cut flowers, sweet spices and minerals. It shows lovely energy and plenty of verve in a medium-bodied, gracious style that is immensely appealing.

• John Gilman: The 2010 Combottes was also just a touch reduced at the time of my visit and ready for its racking, but underneath is an absolutely stellar bottle in the making. The superb nose offers up a lovely, red fruity mélange of strawberries, cherries, coffee, beautifully complex soil tones, mustard seed, roses and a deft base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, racy and very soil-driven, with a fine core of fruit, excellent focus and balance, suave tannins and very fine grip on the long and racy finish. There is a closing note of sappiness here that is really lovely and this wine just exudes the elegance that is the hallmark of the best wines of the 2010 vintage.

Producer Information

Domaine Dujac is a highly regarded and critically lauded wine producer based in Burgundy's Morey-Saint-Denis appellation. It makes high-quality wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, ranging from entry-level Bourgogne to wines made from some of the top Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, including Clos de la Roche and Le Chambertin. The domaine was founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, who had spent the previous few years travelling around Burgundy learning the craft from the likes of Aubert de Villaine at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Charles Rousseau of Domaine Armand Rousseau. He purchased a small, run-down property in Morey-Saint-Denis and planted some Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In the late 20th Century, Dujac expanded its estate, acquiring grand cru plots in Clos de la Roche (the domaine has just under two hectares/five acres here), Clos St-Denis (1.4 hectares/3.4 acres) and in northern Bonnes-Mares (nearly 0.6 hectares/1.5 acres). Dujac has also expanded further afield, taking control of plots in Romanée-Saint-Vivant (0.17 hectares/0.4 acres) and Le Chambertin (almost 0.3 hectares/0.7 acres), in Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin respectively. Further expansion has occurred in the range of white wines which now encompasses the Puligny-Montrachet premiers crus of Les Folatières and Les Combettes (acquired in 2014), as well as Les Monts Luisants closer to home in Morey.
