Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
A slightly deep lemon yellow with a greenish glow that suggests youthfulness and firm acidity.
A mineral aroma reminiscent of crushed stone and flint rises from the glass.
Deeper in the background are layers of fruity aromas such as toasted hazelnuts, brioche, ripe yellow peach, pear, and lemon peel.
The vanilla and smoky nuances from the barrels are well-balanced.
The attack is firm, with a taut acidity derived from the blue clay and a salty minerality that is impressive.
The concentrated fruit flavour is apparent in the middle, with a creamy texture and hints of oak filling the palate.
The finish is very long, with notes of toast and nuts.

Pairing
Roasted lobster with shellfish jus and citrus accents
Chicken breast ballotine with truffle and cream sauce
White mold cheese (such as Chaource)

Technical Data

Cultivation

Production volume: 8,000 units
Cultivation area: 1.5ha
Tree planting density: 9,000 trees/ha
Yield: 40hL/ha
Soil: Clay-limestone soil, subjacent to very dense blue clay.
Planted in 1991 and 1995
"Les Combettes" is adjacent to "Les Geniévrières",
It produces a completely different style of wine.
It is characterised by a strong minerality with toasty aromas and is often more concentrated than Les Genievrières.
This terroir is one that develops over time and, because it is located on a more southerly facing plot, the fruit reaches a higher degree of ripeness.
