Critics Ratings

'Racy, crunchy and refreshing, it has red cherry and pomegranate flavours, a hint of water melon sweetness and considerable underlying power and ageing potential.' - Decanter.com, 97/100 (Oct 2019)

'The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru has one of the finest aromatics from Fourrier, offering mineral-soaked black and red fruit armed with laser-like focus. The clean, precise palate is very well balanced with fine tannins and a superb line of acidity. The disarmingly silky finish shows a surfeit of freshness. Superb!' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93-95/100 (Jan 2020)

'Open and expressive like the village Gevrey. Distinctive fruit profile of blueberry and sweet but somehow wild black fruits. Such lovely tannic finesse - firm but very smooth and polished already, if not yet silky. Very long.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Jan 2020)

'A very fresh and relatively cool nose offers up notes of wild red and dark berries, newly turned earth and sauvage wisps. Here too there is excellent volume to the attractively textured middle weight flavors that exhibit focused power on the mouthcoating, serious and very firmly structured finale. This is built-to-age and a wine that is going to need it.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-93/100 (Jan 2020)
