95 / 100"A lighter crimson ruby colour. The nose is all elegance, floral notes and some white pepper on top of cherry -raspberry fruit. There is quite a lot more to this behind, but as always, the 1ers crus chez Rossignol-Trapet are much more about refinement than immediately evident intensity. Drink from 2030-2036."

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes 1er Cru is a step up from the Cherbaudes in terms of complexity, the fruit slightly darker with subtle sea cave and oyster shell scents. The whole bunches works really well here. The medium-bodied palate is sapid and fresh with fine tannins and a generous dose of cracked peppercorns on the finish courtesy of the stems. Excellent."

Tasting Notes
Brothers David and Nicolas Rossignol run this 100% Organic and Biodynamically farmed Domaine located in the very heart of Gevrey Chambertin. Very early to the Sustainable farming movement, all the family's vineyards, located in some of the most impressive vineyards in Burgundy, were converted to Certified Organic in 2004.
This plot used to produce Chanvre, otherwise known as Chenevrière, and Cherbaude comes from the name of the Chanvre bouquets that were picked at the time. Located on a fractured rock and volcanic plates, its roots run deep into well-drained soil. This Cherbaudes has a bright, ruby colour with fiery shades. Its nose brings an aromatic complexity with floral and herbaceous hints which blend well with its fruity and mineral notes. It has a charming palate with a supple and structured texture. A wine that deserves to be savoured and shared!
