($100): The demand for the marvelous 2005 vintage in red Burgundy has pushed all the prices higher.  You may shudder at the price–after all, this is premier, not grand, cru–but you’ll smile after you taste the wine.  Gallois’ Combe Aux Moines delivers those classic Gevrey-Chambertin earthy, woodsy touches mixed with a hint of smoke and plenty of black fruit.  It conveys incredible flavor–without heaviness–and length, while retaining elegance.  Good structure (in the forms of fine tannins and vibrant acidity) suggest that this wine will enjoy a long life. 93 Michael Apstein Aug 28, 2007
