Dujac Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru 2021
Les Combottes, nestled south of Gevrey-Chambertin, halfway up the hillside beneath the majestic Les Monts Luisants, unveils its secrets in a gently sloping terrain (5–6% gradient). Situated at an altitude ranging from 271 to 282 meters, this east-facing lieu-dit boasts a diverse soil profile that evolves from east to west. To the east, the soil reveals a reddish-brown hue, enriched with angular-to-rounded limestone fragments, while the western part exudes richness with fine angular limestone gravel. Beneath the surface lies ocher-colored crinoidal limestone (calcaire à Entroques), brimming with remnants of ancient marine life, overlain by bedded limestone scree (grèzes litées) that blankets the upper slope. This Comblanchien limestone scree, comprised of fine angular gravel, completes the intricate tapestry of Les Combottes' terroir.
