Tasting note

來自Gevery-Chambertin著名的Aux Combottes頂級園，2019年這支酒帶著成熟黑櫻桃和紅莓的果香，還有明顯的林下、泥土氣息與香料韻味。入口質地細緻滑順，單寧細而有抓力，酸度保持清新，使果味與礦感平衡，收結綿長。酒莊是家族經營，重視小地塊管理與低產量，人工採收與分地塊釀造，升桶期間以法國木桶為主，控制新桶比例以免掩蓋產地特色。葡萄園多為石質、黏灰岩混合土壤，排水良好、朝向佳，這些田地條件讓酒既有濃縮度也保有優雅的框架。整體風格適合慢慢醒酒後細細品味，也能搭配烤鴨、野味或香菇類料理。

This 2019 from Aux Combottes sits squarely in the expressive, classically structured register of Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru. Aromas open to ripe dark and red cherries, wild raspberry, and a thread of forest-floor complexity — damp leaves, a hint of underbrush and savory tea. On the palate the wine shows concentrated fruit framed by fine-grained, polished tannins and an incisive mineral spine that keeps it lively. Secondary notes of clove, smoked savory and subtle toast emerge with air. The 2019 vintage brings ripe, generous fruit but the Premier Cru site and careful élevage preserve an elegant shape and long finish. Expect 8–10 years of development from release and a drinking window stretching comfortably beyond that for those who enjoy evolution in bottle. Producer notes: Domaine Georges Lignier & Fils is a family domaine rooted in Gevrey-Chambertin, working small, closely tended parcels with an emphasis on expressing terroir. Their Aux Combottes bottling typically balances power and restraint — showing depth without losing clarity. Winemaking notes: Grapes are carefully harvested and vinified parcel by parcel. Fermentation and maceration practices aim to extract ripe tannins without harshness; élevage in French oak (moderate new oak use) integrates structure and spice while preserving primary fruit and mineral focus. The result is a Premier Cru with both immediate appeal and the structure for mid-term cellaring. Vineyard notes: Les Combottes sits on stony, well-draining soils with good exposure in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. Soils of limestone-marl with a stony top layer lend the wine its mineral tension and capacity to age; vine density, low yields and attentive viticulture contribute to concentrated, terroir-driven flavors.
