Description
"Combe Aux Moines" is one of Gevrey-Chambertin's finest and most complex Premier Cru sites. The limestone and clay-rich soils on the upper slope give the Pinot Noir an exceptional mineral tension and an almost ethereal elegance, distinctly different from the more powerful Gevrey styles. Domaine Fourrier deliberately interprets the site in a purist, terroir-driven way – focusing on transparency, energy, and Burgundian finesse.
In 2023, the Premier Cru is incredibly vibrant and precise, yet calm and deeply structured. The Pinot Noir combines juicy red and darker fruit with subtle spice, fine freshness, and a silky texture. Rather than massive extraction or opulent power, "Combe Aux Moines" clearly prioritizes balance, elegance, and an almost aristocratic finesse. It is precisely this combination of depth and transparency that makes the wine so fascinating.
The winemaking remains deliberately minimalistic and excellently integrated, ensuring that origin and vintage take center stage without compromise. As a result, the Premier Cru displays a magnificent Côte-de-Nuits style – mineral, silky, with a long, elegant finish and exceptional aging potential.
