Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Aux Combottes 2017

93-95 points Fine Wine Review: “The Gevrey-Combottes has both red and dark fruits with greater juiciness than the Morey 1er Cru, and it shows good depth and concentration. (4/26/19)”

94 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): “Consistently one of my favourite Dujac wines, this hails from a 1.15ha parcel in a well-surrounded premier cru. The 85% whole bunches certainly have an influence on the aromas and flavours of the wine, but they aren’t excessively sappy and spicy. Attractive and nuanced, this is a wonderfully refined Gevrey. Drinking Window: 2023-2029. (Nov 2018)”

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “Underlining the variations in the Dujac cellars a few weeks out from their racking, the 2017 Combottes was absolutely singing at the time of my visit! The bouquet is pure, refined and utterly charming, wafting from the glass in an elegant mix of red and black cherries, plums, raw cocoa, a complex base of soil, gamebird, a dollop of mustard seed and a suave base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, transparent and sappy at the core, with suave tannins, great focus and grip and a very long, vibrant and complex finish. Great juice. 2026-2065. (Nov/Dec 2018)”
