Gallois Gevrey Chambertin Combes Aux Moines 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

94 BH

The Combes Aux Moines Vineyards lies at the northern end of the appellation and abuts onto the famed Cazetieres vineyard.
Note: from a .5 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines

Tasting note: More restrained and notably cool aromas are comprised of freshly sliced plum, dark currant and pungent earth and sauvage nuances. There is more volume, power and muscle to the bigger-bodied flavors that possess excellent underlying tension, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and very saline-inflected finale. This is excellent and notably more structured; indeed, it will need at least 15 years of cellaring and 20 would not surprise me to reach its full maturity. This is most impressive. Outstanding.
