Domaine Pierre Amiot et Fils Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Combottes 2014 (Previous Vintage)

Alcohol: 13.5%

Grape(s): Pinot Noir

Localization: Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes: Ruby to garnet in color, aromas of red berries. Exceptional length. This is a full bodied wine with supple tannins

Notes: "Combottes”comes from small “combe” which is a narrow gorge. Around 1930, they should have been able to label it Grand Cru “Combottes-Chambertin”, however a judgment passed in 1931 did not allocate the name “Chambertin” to the name of this parcel.

From the vineyard to the winery, each operation is adapted to the vintage to make the best wines possible and to fully express the parcels’ terroir. 33% of new oak barrels are used for the aging process.

Food pairing: This wine pairs wonderfully with meat grilled or served in a sauce, and with aged cheeses.

The Domain: The vineyards face east-southeast at an altitude of 260m (850 feet), on soils of limestone with marl, gravel and red-silt. This parcel always gives a ripeness to the grapes.Les Combottes are situated just on the border between Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, between the Grands Crus of Latricières-Chambertin, Mazoyères-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche.
