FAIVELEY - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru La Combe aux Moines - 2016

FAIVELEY

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru La Combe aux Moines 2016

Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Peppery dark-red fruit. Dry but scented on the palate, firm, dry in texture. A little bit lean compared with the richness of some of these Faiveley 2016s but I guess it may fill out a little with time in the bottle.
