2019 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru La Combe Aux Moines

Tasting notes:

The vineyard is slightly higher than the Cazetiers and is planted on fossiliferous clays and white marls with an east exposure. Less rich than the Cazetiers but with more freshness. Aged in oak barrel for 12 months. Aromas of fresh red fruits and spice, with hints of wood and smoke. Deep, round and elegant with soft tannins and a very long finish.
