Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru La Combe aux Moines 2014

95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "A north-east facing site that’s one of the cooler spots in Gevrey, La Combe aux Moines often makes very fine, subtle wines. This is a case in point: pepper spice, sappy tannins, lots of red berry perfume and crunchy, minerally freshness. 2017-27. (2016)"

92-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a very large 1.2 ha parcel). Once again there is enough wood to notice on the extremely earthy and sauvage-infused nose of somber dark berry and plum aromas. The seductively textured yet muscular flavors possess a velvety mouth feel thanks to the abundant amount of dry extract that also buffers the very firm tannic spine on the balanced and impressively persistent finish. This is really quite good and well-worth your attention provided that you have the patience to cellar this beauty for at least 7 to 8 years first. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2016)"

93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$120 list] A pure, cherry- and raspberry-flavored red, accented by smoke, spice and mineral notes. Shows a black pepper side as the flavors play out on the lingering aftertaste. Balanced, but needs time. Best from 2020 through 2035. 10 cases imported. (4/30/17)"
