Maison Roche de Bellene Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moine 1er Cru 2021

Delicately spiced, salty, and generously perfumed with blossom, jasmine, juniper and dried floral. Elegant and polished with delicate and well-integrated wood spice that elevates the fruit. Flavours emerge on the palate of cardamom, licorice, bayberry, laurel and tilled earth. The lacey tannins give … an ethereal mouthfeel and lively acids that are beginning to sour provide tension and poise. A slight bit of oxidation signals early maturity. Excellent length. Best 2025 to 2030. Tasted March 2024. Score – 92. (Sara d’Amato, winealign.com)
