Reviews 92 points Vinous "The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe de Dessus has a very well-defined bouquet with dark plum, freshly-rolled tobacco and pressed flowers. The palate is smooth and harmonious, the new oak beautifully-integrated with a supple, delineated, Vosne-inspired finish that becomes increasingly floral in the glass. Superb. (NM)" 89-91 points Burghound "This is also quite floral with slightly riper aromas of dark currant, plum and hints of the sauvage. There is slightly better volume to the caressing but punchy medium-bodied flavors that offer fine complexity on the lingering finish... (AM)"
