The 1990 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes 1er Cru from Domaine Jean-Philippe Marchand is an exceptional Burgundy that reflects the class of a mature Pinot Noir from one of the most prestigious vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. The 1990 vintage was an outstanding one in Burgundy, with ideal climatic conditions producing powerful, elegant, and long-lasting wines.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby ​​red with garnet reflections, indicating its maturity. The nose unfolds a complex and inviting bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by aromas of dried flowers, undergrowth, spices, and a subtle hint of truffle and smoke, typical of mature Burgundy.

On the palate, the wine impresses with its silky texture and impressive balance. The tannins are perfectly integrated, lending structure without being overpowering. Aromas of ripe red berries, herbs, and subtle spice are supported by a lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. The mineral expression of the Les Combottes terroir is clearly noticeable, lending the wine additional depth and elegance. The finish is long and harmonious, characterized by a refined complexity that lingers long after the finish.
