The Combe aux Moines has a long and complex history, with vines planted here perhaps as long ago as the 7th Century. The modern-day vineyard benefits from a steep, east-facing slope (part of the highly regarded Côte St Jacques) and quarry walls that form a heat-retaining amphitheatre. This means that grapes from this Premier Cru reliably achieve full ripeness and the 2023 is no exception; the nose is a hedonistic cornucopia of sun-ripened raspberry fruit, grenadine, and Morello cherries, seasoned with hints of dried wild herbs and cocoa nibs. Generous, lush and laden with sweet red fruit characters, this is a confident wine with joyful acidity and ripe, mouthcoating tannins. Already a delight.
Cask sample. Transparent ruby. Some evolution on the nose already. Lots of sweet charm and depth. Some structure, drive and intensity.

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.
