The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe Aux Moines is exceptional, revealing a deep bouquet of cassis, dried flowers, Griotte cherries and rich forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, very concentrated and satiny, with amazing energy and structural tension that evoke the 2010 vintage, concluding with a long, mineral finish. While the wine's elegance makes it deceptively drinkable today, the real excitement will come after the best part of a decade in bottle.
Rather paler than most – pale crimson. Very rich and round on the nose but with acidity and delicacy on the palate. Sandy tannins on the end. Real lift here.
