Tasting Notes

93-95
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru showed a very small reduction on the nose. Slightly tertiary in style, black plum intermingling with boysenberry fruit, touches of graphite coming through with time. The palate is very concentrated on the entry: a fine bead of acidity, beautifully structured with a fresh, vibrant finish and a minerally aftertaste. The component parts have to meld together here, so afford this 5-6 years in bottle.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Jan 23
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe Aux Moines has turned out very nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries and blackberries mingled with vine smoke and undergrowth. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with powdery tannins and a layered, lively profile, it's not dominated by the extremes of the vintage.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2042

Jancis Robinson Matthew Hayes - 29 Nov 21
A warm amphitheatre of a vineyard, hewn from an ancient quarry. Tank sampleMid-deep ruby. Ripe black-raspberry fruit. Calm and elegant, with a suave restraint. Balanced and poised but quite marked structure. (MH)
