Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru La Combe aux Moines 2016

- 94 points -

The old vine concentration is appealingly evident on this intensely coloured Premier Cru from the slopes above Gevrey-Chambertin. It’s a rich, structured wine with notes of mint and black cherry, chalky acidity and a backbone of tannin. The finish is extremely long and fine here.
