Tasting notes
"The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combettes comes from a parcel bought by Hubert Lignier himself back in 1959 when the vines were just three years old. It sees 40% new oak. The nose is subtle at first, refined and bashful, but give it a few swirls and a very sophisticated bouquet of pure fresh strawberry and raspberry emerges that is beautifully defined and displays greater mineralite than the La Perriere. The palate is very well-balanced with a stony opening, good backbone and a tightly-wound tannic finish that is precise and maybe too abrupt at the moment. Still, this has great potential."
