Goedhuis, December 2019
A vineyard with iron-rich soils, this is an accessible and open wine with black fruit and savoury flavours. What it lacks in power it makes up for in charm and graceful ease. A more forward style with great balance.

William Kelley, January 2021, Score: 92
Unfurling in the glass with youthfully reserved aromas of red and black berries, raw cocoa, sweet soil tones and subtle spices, the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe Aux Moines is medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, with powdery tannins, a tightly knit core and good balancing acids. This is an elegant, rather reticent middleweight in a vintage with a propensity to produce rather large-scaled wines, and I expect it to evolve with grace.
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
