Domaine Dujac Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru Aux Combottes 2018 AOC 0,75l

In the heart of the Gevrey-Chambertin hills, Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Aux Combottes 2018 AOC 0,75l presents itself as a story of terroir and family dedication: a bottle capable of conveying the depth of one of the Côte’s most expressive crus without artifice, thanks to careful vineyard management, hand harvesting, and maturation that enhances the raw material. The producer’s history, guided by the Seysses family, reflects a philosophy in which the balance between fruit and character is key: a house that has built its identity on wines that speak of their land with precision, without chasing trends, but working with respect for their origins. This winemaking philosophy translates into meticulous vineyard care, minimal intervention in the cellar, controlled fermentations, and maturation in French oak barrels, where a portion of new wood modulates the intensity of the fruit while preserving a freshness that supports the structure over time. Aux Combottes stands out for its complex aromatic texture: ripe red fruits, violet notes, and mineral nuances mingle with hints of subtle spices, while the palate reveals an elegant line of silky tannins and an acidic tension that guides the tasting from entry to a long, savory, mineral-persistent finish. Coherently positioned within the producer’s range, this wine embodies Dujac’s signature in the Côte de Nuits: it can be regarded both as an ambassador of balanced youth and as a candidate for aging by those seeking evolution and depth over time. In conclusion, for STELT, the Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Aux Combottes 2018 stands as a testament to terroir, measured technique, and restrained construction, capable of offering longevity without heaviness or ostentation.
