Faiveley 2018 Gevrey Chambertin "Combe Aux Moines" 1er Cru 750ml

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.
