Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines 2021

It is wonderfully balanced with fabulous intensity and a long

spice and earth scents that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice

even perfumed nose that remains entirely primary offers up notes of spice

Perhaps the finest wine yet made at Blankiet is the spectacular 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard

but the last two times I have had it

It is seriously endowed

which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and usually produces small quantities of less than 300 cases

While certainly a quality '76 I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of excellent depth and length

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms is sensational

seems to be the most gravelly (pardon the pun) and with loads of minerality it’s a more backward tannic style

Lovely and understated

density and purity
