Les Combottes gets it’s name from the combe formation of the land it grows on (a valley or hollow on the side of a hill). A cold north wind that blows here ensures a later harvest in this chilly area.

“Combottes” comes from small “combe” which is a narrow gorge. Around 1930, they should have been able to label it Grand Cru “Combottes-Chambertin”, however a judgment passed in 1931 did not allocate the name “Chambertin” to the name of this parcel.

Serving Suggestions
This wine goes very well with red meats, grilled or in sauce, and with cheeses.
