Domaine Dujac Aux Combottes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 2021

This wine makes one stand up and take notice with its lovely cherry/floral fruit expression and plenty of depth on the nose. The texture is firmly tannins, with plenty of freshness and impressive depth. The ripe fruit echoes on the lengthy finish. For me, this is often the best value in the portfolio; that may be true this year too. It is produced from a 1.16-hectare site acquired in 2005 (making them the largest owner in the appellation). This year they picked the fruit on 29 October. Drinking window: 2027-2050. Score – 94. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Jan. 26, 2023)
