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. Hauntingly beautiful on the nose, combining notes of violets, red and black fruit, with a slight ‘Gevrey wildness’.

Vinous
(75% vendange entier): Good bright, deep red. Deep aromas of black cherry, licorice and chocolatey oak are lifted by floral and peppery nuances. Chewy, complex and deep, showing more stem notes of pepper and spices than game today and thus coming across as detailed and brisk. Very powerful, rich wine with superb depth and energy. The dark berry and chocolatey oak flavors carry through on the very long, refined finish. The tannins here are noble but this wine is a baby today and will require patience.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2013
