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)

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
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

The colour is straw yellow. The nose combines yellow apple, apricot and white flowers, with a touch of spice. The palate is young, juicy and fresh
Domaine Arnaud Ente
Santenots
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

Domaine Comte De Vogüe
Chambolle 1er Cru
The lively, perfumed nose combines forest berries, red cherry, dried flowers, earth and a touch of smoke. The palate is deep and complex, very pure and never heavy
