Domaine Esmonin Sylvie Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 2016
Burgundy wine Clos Saint-Jacques
Good medium red, a bit less saturated than the old-vines village wine. Very ripe, multifaceted nose offers dark raspberry, dried flowers and pungent pepper and mineral notes; an essence of Burgundy. Then vibrant and penetrating in the mouth, and a step up in class from the village wines
Robert Parker : 91-93 points

"The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques was a reduced crop because the vines lower down the slope suffered more acutely than those at the top. Containing 60% whole-bunch fruit and matured in 60% new oak, it has an ebullient bouquet that shimmers with tension: small dark cherries, limestone and just a hint of cola. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins and very well-judged acidity. The new oak closes in toward the finish, but that will eventually be absorbed by the fruit. It does not have the persistence of the 2012, but it is another very finely crafted Clos Saint Jacques from Sylvie Esmonin." (2015)

Domaine Dagueneau
Silex
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Les Chaumes
Delicious. Rich and supple, with black cherry and cassis aromas and flavors, all beautifully integrated into the vibrant structure.
Domaine Lamarche
Clos Vougeot
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Aux Murgers
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Clos De La Barre
The 2022 offers a nose of pear, citrus oil, fresh bread and toasted hazelnut. The palate is satiny and incisive, with fine mineral tension and a long, spicy finish. Critics hail it as one of the finest Clos de la Barre in recent years
Jessica Litaud
Pouilly Le Trio
The nose combines citrus zest, white peach and dried flowers, with a touch of toasted almond. The palate is full yet controlled, carried by fine acidity and a mineral backbone
Clos Des Lambrays
Morey-Saint-Denis
2024 was a cool, difficult vintage in Burgundy, marked by rain and mildew pressure, with very low yields. It produced lighter, more delicate reds built on freshness. This village Morey should show a light ruby colour, a nose of cherry, raspberry
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle 1er Cru
More complex yet more reserved on the nose with the hallmark sexy, spicy and pure black fruit aromas that are followed by deeply pitched
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Les Porusots
Domaine Livera Philippe
Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements
