Domaine Fourrier’s 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Premier Cru climat of the same name in Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The domaine is led by Jean‑Marie Fourrier, and the Combe aux Moines parcel is notably old-vine—Decanter reports it was “planted in 1926.” The site is often described as cooler and stony, a combination that tends to favor aromatic lift and a mineral line even in warm years. Alcohol is reported around 13–13.5% ABV depending on the source, and the wine is matured in oak (details not specified in the reviews provided).

This is a highly rated bottling across multiple critics, with an excellent headline review from Decanter at 97 points. Decanter calls it “racy, crunchy and refreshing,” highlighting “red cherry and pomegranate flavours,” plus “a hint of water melon sweetness” while underscoring “considerable underlying power and ageing potential.” They also frame it as a wine that “retain[s] freshness, poise and a degree of sang-froid” in hotter vintages.

Vinous (Neal Martin) is similarly enthusiastic with a 93–95 point barrel range (listed as 95 here), praising “one of the finest aromatics from Fourrier,” with “mineral-soaked black and red fruit” and “laser-like focus.” He emphasizes the structure—“fine tannins and a superb line of acidity”—and concludes that the “disarmingly silky finish shows a surfeit of freshness.”

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (William Kelley) scored it 93+ and leans into complexity and texture: “plums, rose petals, potpourri, spices and loamy soil,” followed by a palate that is “lively and fleshy” with an “elegantly muscular underpinning of powdery tannin,” noting it “will merit a bit of patience.” Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) adds context on the vineyard setting—“a sort of amphitheatre”—and describes a “gourmand quality” with “sweet dark cherry fruit,” “balanced” yet with “a tighter structure…suggesting there is more to come.”
