Combottes is a 1. Cru of extraordinary quality. The location between the Grand Cru Clos de la Roche and Grand Cru Latricières Chambertin alone suggests so. When the field does not have Grand Cru status, it is according to Benoit Stehly because, 80% of the field is owned by Morey St. Denis growers. The Gevrey-Chambertin growers therefore did not want the field to be the Grand Cru! The quality is superb and the wine has real finesse, elegance, aromatic strength and length.
