Domaine Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 2009 is a powerful expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Premier Crus. Sylvie Esmonin’s use of whole-cluster fermentation and a high percentage of new oak provides a robust framework for the dense black fruit and spice notes of this warm vintage. In magnum format, the wine’s massive structure and opulent texture are preserved with greater freshness, allowing the complex notes of liquorice and toasted earth to emerge slowly.

Good red-ruby. Subtle aromas of black cherry, violet, licorice and pepper, plus a whiff of chocolatey torrefaction. Quite dry and hard to taste today, with dense but very tight flavors of cherry and licorice dominating. Saline, soil-driven wine, a bit uncompromising today but with the stuffing to reward extended cellaring. Finishes with substantial tannins and a note of bitter chocolate.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2012

70% whole grapes and this from new oak. Heady and sweet – the sweetness giving the impression of low acid. Quite a bit of gas. Somehow less dense than usual though certainly full of pleasure. A little bit easy. She leaves 25% stems to help her own pied de cuve. (JR)
