Tasting notes
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe Aux Moines has turned out nicely, mingling aromas of plums, rose petals, potpourri, spices and loamy soil in a rich mélange. Medium to full-bodied, lively and fleshy, with an elegantly muscular underpinning of powdery tannin, it will merit a bit of patience.

Mid crimson. Open and expressive like the village Gevrey. Distinctive fruit profile of blueberry and sweet but somehow wild black fruits. Such lovely tannic finesse – firm but very smooth and polished already, if not yet silky. Very long. (JH)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru has one of the finest aromatics from Fourrier, offering mineral-soaked black and red fruit armed with laser-like focus. The clean, precise palate is very well balanced with fine tannins and a superb line of acidity. The disarmingly silky finish shows a surfeit of freshness. Superb!
