"The 2004 Combottes was absolutely singing at the time of my visit in March, soaring from the glass in a mélange of plums, dark berries, cocoa, minerals, violets and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, focused and intensely flavored, with a fine core of fruit, racy structure, beautifully buried tannins, and a very long, complex and tangy finish. This wine really stands out this year, and may well sneak past the Gruenchers in 2004 for the first time that I can recall."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
