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 Bart
Bonnes Mares
A distinctly earthy and spicy nose flashes notes of dark cherry, rose petal and raspberry. The much richer and more concentrated big-bodied flavors possess excellent power on the robust, dusty and mouth coating finish
Domaine Joseph Drouhin
Beaune
The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches has a superb bouquet with passion fruit, honeysuckle and jasmine, very expressive
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Clos Rognet
The nose is expressive, even explosive with real volume and really pretty spice cut with plenty of earth and an elegant touch of minerality
Domaine Niellon
Clos De La Maltroie
The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex
Domaine Etienne Sauzet
Puligny Garenne
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Santenots Du Milieu
A ripe, fresh and attractively spicy nose reflects a variety of both red and dark pinot fruit nuances
