2006 VINTAGE in Burgundy

The personality of Burgundy wines makes the difference

Gevrey Chambertin ‘Aux Combottes’ 2006 – This mini-vertical of ‘Aux Combottes’ was largely a collection of the very best vintages from the last two decades, which made the inclusion of 2006 seem, initially, a curious decision (surely 2005 would have been the better choice?). It was, however, the first vintage where Jeremy Seysses had full control and so holds a special place for him. Spices, meats, mustard seeds. There are far more notes of dry herbs/herbals/whole bunch characters here, than in the other wines. Very spicy, red fruits, warm earth. A slight burnt earth character here in this mid-length wine, but it is the whole bunch note that dominates. Some felt that this character was merely exuberance, but I am less convinced. There was also talk of a tiny bit of brett but if so, it was not sufficient to mar the wine in any way. 91.
