2022 Gevrey-Chambertin, La Combe Aux Moine, 1er Cru, A.-F. Gros, Burgundy

This interesting vineyard is on the northern end of the appellation, facing east and adjoining Cazetiers. The fruit is from the top of the slope. The winemaking team have moderated any toughness: this is ripe and fragrant, with good restraint and a long finish. The palate has a creamy edge, but the overall final impression is of cool red fruit.
