| Review: |
"The les Combottes bottling from Vincent Rapet is a villages level bottling, made from vines that range from twenty-five to thirty years of age and are raised all in three hundred and fifty liter casks. The 2018 version is excellent, offering up a precise and complex bouquet of pear, fresh almond, chalky minerality, spring flowers and a hint of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and beautifully soil-driven in personality, with a lovely core of fruit, good acids and grip and a long, well-balanced and complex finish. This is drinking beautifully out of the blocks, but has the structure to also age very well indeed. A classy villages! (Drink between 2021-2035)" |
