Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru showed a very small reduction on the nose. Slightly tertiary in style, black plum intermingling with boysenberry fruit, touches of graphite coming through with time. The palate is very concentrated on the entry: a fine bead of acidity, beautifully structured with a fresh, vibrant finish and a minerally aftertaste. The component parts have to meld together here, so afford this 5-6 years in bottle.
