Bright mid crimson. The nose suggests a little darker fruit but is hard to tease out. Indeed, on the palate there are some black fruit notes joining the vigorous dark red fruit, still with good acidity. There is more to this wine than Goulots, but it will take more time to emerge.

The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru has a pure and transparent bouquet with red cherries, redcurrant and light cranberry scents, perhaps not quite delivering the enticing personality of the Les Goulots at the moment. This is holding something back. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite strict tannins that frame the bright red berry fruit. Gentle grip, fine balance with impressive sustain and mineralité on the tender finish. Superb.

(from .87 ha parcel planted in 1928). A background touch of wood is present on the distinctly cool and inexpressive nose that only grudgingly reveals its aromas of red berries, the sauvage and forest floor. The supple and succulent, if not especially dense, flavors possess a seductive mid-palate texture that contrasts markedly with the first, serious, compact and built-to-age finale. Like the Goulots, this is excellent and provided you have the patience to wait, warmly recommended.
