2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1.Cru Combe aux Moines Fourrier

A brooding nose consists of essence of plum and black cherry scents that are cut with notes of warm earth and the sauvage. The rich, medium-bodied and reasonably concentrated flavors possess good power and muscle on the mouth coating and serious finale. This well made and youthfully austere effort will need at least 5 to 7 years first and potentially reward up to 15. 2029+

Next to Goulots. Planted flat in an old quarry like a warm amphitheatre. This apparently gives it a sweeter ripeness on the palate and more red fruits. Has the same dark aromatic intensity of Les Goulots on the nose. Incredibly pure and refined. On the palate, the tannins are firmer but also a little more rounded, with a touch more richness overall.
