Tasting notes
Medium red. Lively perfume of raspberry, spices and dried flowers complicated by leather and soil tones. Supple on entry, then quite backward--in fact almost austere--in the middle palate, less open to inspection today than the Champeaux. Conveys a touch of rusticity to its flavors of leather, spices, earth and minerals. This classically dry wine will need at least five or six years in the cellar to uncoil.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe Aux Moines has a gorgeous bouquet with red cherries and bergamot scents, wonderful mineralité seeping through with time with superb delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, fine tannins and very impressive density without compromising elegance on the finish. Excellent.
Just racked into tank prior to tasting. Bright dark crimson. Broad and generous but lively on the nose. Like a cool breeze blowing on fully ripe fruit. Great racy texture. (JR)
Medium red. Restrained aromas of raspberry, cranberry and game, plus a whiff of leathery reduction. Plush wine with a seamless texture, conveying lovely sucrosité and spicy lift to its red berry flavors. The leathery element repeats in the mouth. This soil-driven premier cru shows an almost confectionery character but finishes with a firm tannic spine.
