Chambolle Musigny, Aux Combottes, 1er Cru, 2009
justerini & brooks tasting note
Richer, smoother and more immediately seductive than the Morey, with a lovely brightness to it nonetheless, ripe red berry, mulberry and Victoria plum fruit, floral on the finish with rich notes of griotte and kirsch.

93/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Combottes presents an intriguing and inviting mélange of dark red cherries, mint, licorice and spices. There is wonderful depth to the fruit as the wine continues to open up in the glass. This is a decidedly dark, powerful style of Chambolle, but it works, and quite beautifully, too. It will be interesting to see the direction the Combottes takes over the coming years.
