WINE DESCRIPTION
The Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' is a distinguished red wine crafted from Pinot Noir, sourced from a 15-acre parcel planted in 1957. Nestled among three Grands Crus, the terroir of this Premier Cru vineyard features sandy, clay, and silt soils on a gentle slope. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting, fermentation of partly destemmed grapes, partly of whole clusters and aging in French oak barrels (partly new). The resulting wine is a concentrated and elegant expression, with deep complexity and refined structure. Its nuanced flavors and aromas evolve beautifully with age, revealing the exceptional potential and finesse of this esteemed vineyard.
