"This is quite cool within the context of a very ripe vintage such as 2009 with airy, pure and fresh red berry fruit liqueur aromas that are cut with hints of earth, stone and spice. The natural elegance of Combottes is on display as there is a silky mouth feel to the intense and brilliantly well-delineated middle weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the palate staining and driving finish. Like the Charmes this is very classy and like the Brûlées, I cannot recall ever tasting a more promising Leroy Combottes as this surpasses even the brilliant 2001."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
