Hubert Lignier Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru 2015

Hubert Lignier’s Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru 2015 is a compelling Burgundy for drinkers who appreciate precision, minerality, and depth in Pinot Noir. Sourced from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most admired premier cru sites, it combines the domain’s traditional style with the refinement and tension that make this vineyard so distinctive. The Lignier family has been rooted in Morey-Saint-Denis since 1880, giving this wine both a strong sense of place and a long family legacy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2015 shows a poised, elegant profile with crisp red berry fruit and a finely etched mineral line. The bouquet opens gradually, revealing wet limestone, flinty nuances, and a subtle complexity that keeps evolving with air. On the palate, the wine is beautifully defined, with superb mineralité, energy, and a slight edge that lifts the finish. A modest amount of whole-bunch fruit adds freshness and transparency, allowing the terroir to come through clearly. This is a structured, age-worthy Gevrey-Chambertin with the potential to develop for 20+ years, though it can also benefit from a few years in bottle before opening up fully.

Production
Aux Combottes is a prized premier cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin, where the wines often reflect the balance of power and finesse that defines this part of the Côte de Nuits. Hubert Lignier works with a traditional, low-intervention approach, and the domaine avoids pesticides and herbicides to encourage healthy vineyard expression. The wine is crafted to preserve purity and structure, with whole-bunch inclusion used sparingly to enhance freshness and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that match its elegance and structure, such as roast duck, pigeon, game birds, mushroom risotto, or veal with a delicate wine sauce. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended if drinking young, ideally for 1–2 hours, to allow the aromatics and mineral detail to fully emerge.
