Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Combe Moines Vv

Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Combe Moines VvA fascinating mix of vibrant, indeed even racy red fruit aromas and pungent wet earth notes lead to linear, frank and direct flavors that are fuller, richer and denser than those of the Champeaux but ultimately less complex and not quite as deep on the backend. Still, this is delicious and striking in its way.

but it s still a huge wine that has overflowing notions of smoked meats

Full bodied

Not really my style of wine

the 2004 Dom Pérignon Rosé is explosive and hedonistically rich

Readers who prefer more aromatic complexity might prefer to cellar the 2012 for another few years

roast meat and forest resins haunt the blackberry and plum fruits

kirsch and thyme-scented perfume

The main message here is elegance and this wine is profoundly eloquent on the subject

This should age well

tasting stripped

flowers and spices saturate every corner of the palate as this mind-blowing Costa Russi struts its stuff

Gaia Gaja tells me that the clusters harvested were perfect in appearance
