2017 Maison Pierre Brisset Gevrey-Chambertin Combe aux Moines 1er Cru

The most exuberant nose of all the Brisset 2017 red burgundies. Ripe, bright, menthol cherries. Bold and muscled with more breadth in the shoulder than its peers. Confident with a cinnamon warmth and a bit of chipotle-smoky heat. It feels more ready than its peers at the moment, but might well shut down in the next year for a while. Real Szechuan-pepper flair and complexity and build on the finish! Lots of character, lots of pzazz. (TC)
