Based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Sylvie Esmonin is a family-owned Domaine producing a range of wines from both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. The estate comprises approximately five hectares of vineyards, of which 1.6 hectares are located in the Premier Cru Clos Saint-Jacques, where this release comes from. Expect notes of ripe black cherries, spices, fresh cut herbs and a hint of braised meat.
93 Vinous
Good dark red. Wild, evolving nose combines black olive, game, spices, truffle, earth and a whiff of balsamic plum and sandalwood. Spicy, gamey and complex on the palate, showing a sexy candied quality to the flavors of black raspberry pastille and smoke. Fat with fruit but the wine's serious acidity and smooth tannins should hold it effortlessly for another decade. A captivating note of violet emerged with aeration. Incidentally, this was the first vintage in which Sylvie Esmonin vinified with a portion of the stems. She actually began with two cuvées of this juice, and she included 50% whole clusters in the batch that she vinified without SO2. Lovely energy here.Stephen Tanzer1st February 2016

Very deep crimson. Rather tired sample on the nose, then exaggerated fruit juice on the palate. Very tough finish. (JR)Jancis Robinson28th January 2004
