2022 was a warm and relatively dry growing season in Burgundy, which often results in wines with ripe, concentrated flavors and a fuller body. Despite some challenges, skilled winemaking can produce excellent results.
The wine is expected to have a deep ruby to garnet color, typical of Pinot Noir from a premier cru site.
Look for complex aromas featuring dark berries such as blackberry, black cherry, and possibly raspberry. Additional notes might include hints of spice (like clove or cinnamon), earthy undertones, and subtle oak influence, with potential hints of vanilla or toast.
On the palate, the 2022 Aux Combottes should showcase a rich and layered profile. Expect flavors of ripe black fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, along with secondary notes of forest floor, mushrooms, and perhaps a touch of leather. The texture is likely to be smooth and elegant, with fine-grained tannins and a balanced acidity that provides structure and freshness.
The finish is expected to be long and refined, with a harmonious blend of fruit, acidity, and tannins that reflects the vineyard’s terroir and the vintage’s character.
Domaine Dujac’s Aux Combottes 1er Cru is known for its elegance and ability to express the unique characteristics of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir. The 2022 vintage should offer a high-quality example of this premier cru site, reflecting both the vintage’s strengths and the estate’s meticulous winemaking.
