Gevrey Chambertin 1st Cru Les Combottes Domaine Amiot 2021

Gevrey‑Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Combottes” Domaine Amiot 2021

Origin and terroir

The vineyard “Les Combottes” is a Premier Cru appellation, located high and ideally exposed between the Grand Cru vineyards Clos de la Roche and Latricières-Chambertin. The soil consists of limestone, marl and gravel with a subsoil characterized by red silt, and the vineyard’s slope to the east-southeast ensures ripe fruit. The vines vary in age from about 15 years to a few plants from 1936.

Production and vinification

The harvest is done manually and selectively, followed by 100% destemming and approximately 20 days of fermentation in open, temperature-controlled vats. The wine is then matured for approximately 18–20 months in 228 l French oak barrels, of which about a third are new. The vinification is done with care to preserve the character and structure of the terroir.
