Faiveley, Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru, La Combe aux Moines, 2017
Wine from a famed vineyard at a very fair price. Ripe and generous perfume; perfectly anticipating a full-flavoured mouthful of plump red fruit, fresh and crunchy, with good bite and structure. Very complete and should keep very well.... Read More

Faiveley, Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru, La Combe aux Moines, 2017
Wine from a famed vineyard at a very fair price. Ripe and generous perfume; perfectly anticipating a full-flavoured mouthful of plump red fruit, fresh and crunchy, with good bite and structure. Very complete and should keep very well. Now-2028
Cask sample. Light to mid cherry red. Subtle aroma. Spicy and dark-fruited. Elegant but not particularly intense on the palate. Less immediately appealing than many of the Faiveley wines in this line-up but has serious harmony and long finish. A touch of oak evident on the aftertaste. 16.5/20. Drink 2023-2030.
