Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 2005 from Hubert Lignier is a Premier Cru red from Gevrey-Chambertin. This vineyard is uniquely situated, surrounded on three sides by Grand Cru sites, which is reflected in the wine’s structural gravity and depth. The 2005 release offers a massive fruit core of black cherries and plums, supported by firm tannins and a persistent mineral line. Following the estate’s traditionalist approach, the wine underwent a long maturation in French oak, adding layers of sweet spice and cedar. After two decades, the tannins are beginning to resolve, revealing complex tertiary notes of leather, truffle and game.

Lignier’s 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Combottes is from vines tucked up hill between Latricieres-Chambertin and the Mont Luisants portion of Clos de la Roche. Not surprisingly, it displays Grand Cru character. Rich black cherry, cherry pit and vanilla aromas usher in a sweet, soothing, fruit-saturated and expansive yet precise palate with very fine tannins. Low-toned meatiness and chalky minerality enter into the long finish. This is the tenacious Les Baude’s alter-ego it would seem, and a wine that could be enjoyed sooner, although it will almost certainly merit more than a decade in one’s cellar.
- David Schildknecht

92 Vinous

Good full ruby-red. Expressive aromas of black cherry, licorice and minerals. Juicy, pure and penetrating, with lovely intensity of flavor; at once dense and refined, with more stuffing than the Baudes but also terrific definition of flavor. Very fresh and long on the back, with dusty tannins and a sappy impression of extract. Lignier notes that the Morey old-vines seems heavy compared to this.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2007
