Gevrey Chambertin les Combottes 2006 Domaine Leroy

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Fresh red raspberry and cherry are joined by saline, alkaline, slightly sweaty notes in the nose of the Leroy 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes. This saturates the palate ripe and with impressive cut and freshness, but also considerable bitterness and a more obvious tanninity than in any of the other wines in this collection. Fresh berries and mineral salts combine for a penetrating and impressively sweetly-ripe finish, but right now this wine comes off as just a bit muscle-bound and over-determined in structure for the nature of its fruit.
