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)

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 Méo-Camuzet
Les Chaumes
Delicious. Rich and supple, with black cherry and cassis aromas and flavors, all beautifully integrated into the vibrant structure.
Domaine Arnaud Ente
Bourgogne
This Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from the Magny lieu-dit, in the commune of Meursault. The vines are farmed with the same care as the estate’s great white cuvées, with naturally low yields
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
Domaine Pattes Loup
Chablis
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
Anne Boisson
Meursault
The nose combines lemon, lime, peach and apricot, with a floral and mineral touch. The palate is full and creamy, driven by lively acidity and vibrant fruit. The finish is clean and long, with citrus and minerality
