  A beautiful wine with the slightest hint of phenolic on the palate (in a good way).

  Notes on Wines from December 2021 (Wellington, NZ): Served double blind, Mark paired the two Combe aux Moines. A nose of black cherries, some flinty reduction, smoky bacon fat, earth and a touch of barnyard. On palate, savoury, mineral, not overtly fruity. Clean and well made, in modern style but made sympathetically, without too much, heavy-handed oak for the fruit. I did not pick the link with Mark’s second wine and pick any of 2010, new (post-2007) style Faiveley or Combe aux Moines. On the reveal, it’s a great comparison in showing Faiveley not making as great a Combe aux Moines from an excellent vintage. Still, it’s a very good 1er, no hurry to consume. 92+.

  Relatively open nose m, smoked meats, five spice. Beautiful clean palate, tannins wash through but don’t overpower. I really love these 2010’s. I just wish I had more foresight and bought more.

  This wine is in a good place. Very smooth and elegant with decent length. Was good when first opened with gradual improvement over the next hour. Improved since my last tasting about 18 months ago
