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)

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

The nose shows a mass of fresh red fruit, concentrated and intense, with just the right ripeness. The palate is medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit and melting tannins
Hubert Lamy
Les Frionnes
The 2021 shows a nose of white flowers, citrus and nashi pear, with a hint of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and chiselled, carried by bright acidity

Les Chaumes
Delicious. Rich and supple, with black cherry and cassis aromas and flavors, all beautifully integrated into the vibrant structure.
Domaine Etienne Sauzet
Puligny-Montrachet
Here the nose is notably more reserved though just as pure and ripe with a similar nose of white orchard fruit along with spice, lemon hint
