2011 vintage, Aux Combottes, in half bottle from the domaine. Is there a more unlucky AOC in Burgundy? Surrounded on 4 sides by Grand Crus, this is a Premier Cru. Perhaps the tendency for Aux Combottes to be historically owned by farmers from Morey is behind the politics of the hierarchy here?! Good aromatics, pretty nose, with depth. Red fruit profile. On the palate, the tannins are raging and the finish is dry which makes this a little unapproachable at this age. Open in 2020+.
