The 1992 vintage for Burgundy was a mixed bag, with a large harvest and grapes that, while healthy, often lacked concentration. Reds from this vintage generally lacked acidity, which meant little structure for long-term aging, making most best suited for early to mid-term cellaring and likely past their prime by now, though exceptions exist. Domaine Dujac's Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru 1992, however, comes from a highly regarded vineyard. Aux Combottes is unique as it is completely surrounded by Grand Crus, and Dujac is the single biggest landowner in this plot. Tasting notes for 1992 Dujac wines suggest a medium ruby color with amber at the rim, an understated red fruit nose with hints of coffee and cedar, and a palate with big red cherry fruit, good acidity, and medium, slightly grainy tannin. More generally, Aux Combottes wines often exhibit a stony, mineral personality, sometimes with elements of graphite and iron, and can show a certain muskiness. Other descriptors include earthy, leather, mushroom, strawberry, cherry, raspberry, oak, vanilla, and cedar notes. Food Pairing: This mature red Burgundy would complement classic dishes such as beef, veal, poultry, and various game meats. Event Suggestions: This wine is perfect for a thoughtful dinner with fellow Burgundy enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into a mature, potentially delicate vintage from a top producer. It's a wine for quiet contemplation rather than boisterous celebration. At over 30 years old, this 1992 Burgundy red is well into its mature phase, and given the vintage's "mixed bag" reputation for reds, it's likely to be delicate. Handle with extreme care. Old corks can be very fragile; a two-pronged cork puller or Durand is highly recommended. Decant gently for a short period (15-30 minutes) to remove any sediment and allow it to open up, but be prepared for it to fade quickly. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16-17°C, to preserve its remaining fruit and structure. 【 Aux Combottes is a unique 1er Cru, completely surrounded by Grand Crus, and Dujac is the single biggest landowner in this vineyard. 】
