Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Aux Combottes" 2016 - Hubert Lignier

The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Aux Combottes" 2016 from Domaine Hubert Lignier reveals the elegance and freshness of a very successful vintage. The old vines, over 45 years old, grow on an exceptional limestone terroir that brings great complexity to the wine. The nose is elegant, offering aromas of crisp red fruits and delicate spice notes. The minerality of the terroir is evident, providing a fresh, almost saline texture typical of limestone soils. On the palate, the tannic structure is refined, with well-integrated tannins offering beautiful finesse. The finish is persistent, with a slight bitterness that enhances the depth of the wine. This 1er Cru, marked by precision, has excellent aging potential and will develop beautifully over the years.
