The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru is perhaps in the shade of the Goulots at the moment, with touches of graphite seeping through the dark berry fruit and a hint of black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black and citrus fruit but tightly wound with an orange rind twist towards the finish. It just needs a little more persistence. 11/2023

Inside Burgundy

Rich bright purple. A little more solid in depth of fruit, a fine dense dark purple company, with an attractive fresh crunch to the tannins. Excellent energy on the second half of the palate, a terrific Gevrey in the making. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2023.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe Aux Moines is also very nicely balanced, delivering aromas of ripe plums, red berries, cherries and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy palate with good depth at the core and bright balancing acids. Jean-Marie Fourrier and his team have produced another attractive set of wines that, as usual, emphasize purity, generosity and sweetness of fruit—in one or two cuvées capturing just a touch too much of the 2022 sunshine, at least for this taster. As readers will remember, Fourrier remains convinced that 100 days of hang time between flowering and harvest are essential for attaining physiological maturity, so harvest here began on September 10. As has been the case in several recent vintages, the team destemmed as usual, but they added back a proportion of stems, selected according to their maturity, to each vat. Percentages of new oak, as usual, were moderate, derived from Tonnellerie Cadus and complemented by some amphorae and stainless steel barrels. 01/2024
