Arlaud, Gevrey-Chambertin 2016

Arlaud

Case Format: 6x75cl

Combotte is the diminutive for comb. The name references the undulation of the land. The soil is red (due to iron-oxide) The bed rock is only few centimetres from the surface sometime the rock even laid flush. The Premier Cru Aux Combottes is surrounded by grand cru, Latriciere-Chambertin North Clos de la Roche South, Charmes-Chambertin East. The wine is classy suave and energetic. The little red fruit aromas raspberry, gooseberries complete this wine made with the oldest vine of the estate.

Neal Martin

The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru aux Combottes includes 30% whole bunch fruit and is matured in 20% new oak. It was showing some reduction on the nose although peering through, one can see pretty red berry fruit lying in wait. The palate is medium-bodied with quite rounded tannin and confit-like fruit, a rich and quite ambitious Combottes that leaves traces of salted licorice on the aftertaste. This has great potential but it will require time in bottle. Patience required.
