"The 2009 Combes aux Moines is an absolute classic in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and utterly refined, as it wafts from the glass in a blend of red and black cherries, grilled meat, Gevrey’s black minerality, woodsmoke, espresso, mustard seed and a touch of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and structured, with a fine core of fruit, ripe tannins, lovely acidity and excellent length and grip on the pure and fairly primary finish. A superb bottle."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
