Made from a Burgundy premier cru totally surrounded by grand cru vineyards (the vignerons from Morey say that the Gevrey producers have not asked for it to be upgraded as most of the vineyard belongs to proprietors from Morey), the light ruby-colored Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes displays a sweet perfumed cherry and raspberry-filled nose with a touch of spice. There are red fruits and cinnamon in this silky-textured, light-to-medium-bodied, slightly tannic wine. Drink 1999-2005. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661.
Very good medium red. Floral, faintly tarry, red berry nose is perfumed and bright. Silky in texture and deeper than the '96s. Has a tangy, sappy quality in the mouth. Concentrated and rather full. Finishes with slightly dry, tongue-dusting tannins.
