Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru La Combe aux Moines 2013

- 96 points -

This is one of the cooler Premiers Crus in Gevrey, situated close to the northern end of the village. It’s generally among the last vineyards to be picked, because every moment counts here. The oak is quite prominent, adding a touch of sweet coconut, but there’s a sappy freshness at the core and plenty of crunchy red fruits.
