Domaine Esmonin Sylvie Gevrey Chambertin 2022

More complex yet more reserved on the nose with the hallmark sexy, spicy and pure black fruit aromas that are followed by deeply pitched

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

2024 was a cool vintage with small volumes in Burgundy, giving lighter, more easy-drinking reds. At just 12.5%, this red Chassagne should show bright red and black fruit, a palate between finesse and concentration

An exuberantly spicy nose combines notes of plum, dark currant, violets and underbrush. There is terrific intensity and a lovely minerality to the ripe and well-delineated medium weight

Reserved at first, the nose opens with air on red fruit, cherry, mulberry, pomegranate and blood orange, with rose petals, wildflowers and a touch of smoke. The palate is dense and concentrated, both powerful and silky, with a fleshy core

An impressively ripe nose that does not display any notes of surmaturité features mostly wild dark berry fruit aromas and ample earth notes

The 2022 is pale in colour, with a discreet nose of red and black berries, purple flowers and forest floor, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is broad and silky, more powerful than expected, with the ripe fruit of a sunny vintage

The nose combines green orchard fruit, citrus zest, mint and pastry cream, framed by elegant oak. The palate is concentrated and chalky, driven by lively acidity, with great length
