An Ontario based consignor who is selling her late husband’s collection. Most of the bottles were purchased through the LCBO, with the remainder bought on travels to the US and abroad.

The rating for 1985 Domaine Dujac Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes Premier Cru is 93 points from John Gilman and the tasting note - The 1985 Combottes, hailing from the same wine list as the ’93 Gruenchers, was a paradigm of purity, maturity and virtue. The nose offers up a refined mélange of red cherries, raspberries, cinnamon, mustard seed, lovely minerality, sous bois, and cedary, spicy wood. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and very transparent, with outstanding acidity for the vintage, melting tannins, and excellent length and grip on the complex finish. There are not a lot of domaines in 1985 that have been able to maintain this kind of freshness and bounce in their 1985s. A resounding success.
