---|---|---|---|---|
A discreet application of wood frames the fresh, cool and relatively airy aromas of high-toned cherry, pomegranate and ample floral scents. There is a sleek mouth feel to the utterly delicious and lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that retain a lovely sense of underlying tension and fine delineation on the balanced, long and solidly persistent if presently linear finish that my score assumes will flesh out with bottle age. Score: 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2023+ 15 January 2016 |

The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes is impressive. Power and explosive to the core, with fabulous energy, the Combottes is wonderfully alive in the glass. The 2013 is intensely perfumed and light on its feet, which is to say very much in the style of the year. Deceptively medium in body, the 2013 boasts notable depth, especially on the finish, where a crescendo of flavors and textures is utterly captivating. Score: 91 - 93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2023-2043 01 April 2015 |

The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes (my sample taken from a new cask) has a fragrant, well-defined bouquet with pure raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents. There is palpable mineralité here. The palate has a firm grip on the entry, fine density with a straightlaced, lightly peppery finish that lingers nicely. I would have liked more depth toward the finish considering this is a Premier Cru, but let us see if this develops during the remainder of its barrel maturation. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2017-2030 01 December 2014 |
