FAIVELEY

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru La Combe aux Moines 2012

- 95 points -

Colder than Les Cazetiers, which is not the warmest site in Gevrey itself, this is one of the last vineyards to be picked by the Faiveley team. It’s fresh and even slightly reticent, with some notes of tangerine, red fruits and cool, pomegranate-like acidity. Gevrey in its most elegant form.
