NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Dominique Gallois Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 'La Combe Aux Moines' is an exceptional wine that showcases the true essence of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation.With its Premier Cru designation, this wine offers a level of complexity and refinement that is truly remarkable.
On the nose, this wine displays a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violets and roses. There is also a subtle hint of earthiness, reminiscent of damp forest floor, adding depth and intrigue to the aromatic profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins. The red fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by nuances of mushrooms and spices, and a touch of minerality. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and a velvety texture that lingers on the palate.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. This wine has the potential to age gracefully, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve over time.
