2017 | Domaine Dujac | Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes bursts with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, orange rind, cinnamon, peonies and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with a fleshy and open-knit core that's framed by melting tannins and lively acids, concluding with a perfumed finish.

Reviews:

• Burghound: This too is really quite aromatically pretty with an elegant if noticeably wooded nose that offers up notes of red cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet and rose petal. As one would expect, there is better volume to the sleek and sophisticated medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and persistence on the harmonious and Zen-like finale. Lovely stuff that is built to reward mid-term cellaring.

• Vinous: The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru, which was slightly affected by hail, albeit affecting the canopy rather than the bunches, has an appealing, pure, quite airy bouquet of raspberry, bilberry and blackberry, just a touch of brine/seaweed emerging with time in the glass. The palate is nicely focused with sappy red fruit, well-judged acidity, and orange peel and hints of brown spice on the finish. While not as persistent as the 2016, this has good potential and seems to gain depth with aeration.

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.
