Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru "Aux Combottes" - Jacques Rossignol 2021

The Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru "Aux Combottes" from the Jacques Rossignol winery represents an expression of refinement and depth, worthy of the renowned wine-growing region of Burgundy. This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, cultivated in one of the most prestigious parcels of the Premier Cru of Gevrey Chambertin, known for its limestone and clayey soil that imparts remarkable complexity and structure to the wine.

The winemaking process follows traditional methods, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and subsequent aging in French oak barrels for about 18 months, a period during which the wine acquires elegance, balance, and its characteristic slightly spicy note.

Visually, "Aux Combottes" presents with a deep ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits like cherries and raspberries, intertwined with hints of vanilla, black pepper, and a slight touch of moist earth, typical of the Gevrey Chambertin soils. On the palate, the wine is rich and powerful, with soft yet well-structured tannins that promise good longevity. The finesse of the fruity flavors blends harmoniously with notes of dark chocolate and an elegant minerality, leading to a persistent and pleasantly complex finish.

This wine pairs splendidly with red meat dishes, such as braised lamb or beef fillet, and can also be a surprising match with aged cheeses or mushroom-rich dishes. With its balance between power and elegance, Jacques Rossignol's "Aux Combottes" reveals the true spirit of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, offering a tasting experience that leaves a lasting impression on the palate.
