Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Vieillles Vignes 2022 [NET]

$11999

Sylvie Esmonin's domaine sits at the foot of Clos Saint-Jacques — the legendary 1er Cru that is the centerpiece of her range — and her Vieilles Vignes is the village-level Gevrey made from her oldest holdings, some vines pushing 80-plus years and approaching their centenary. Sylvie took over the estate from her father Michel and has farmed it biodynamically for over two decades. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe, balanced reds across the Côte de Nuits, and at this old-vine concentration the wine punches well above its village address, with the power and complexity that fans of Gevrey come here for.

"Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This is also very good for its level and worth considering."

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes contains around 60% whole bunches this year and was raised in 50% new oak. At the moment, the wood feels a little present on the aromatics, though that will be subsumed with bottle age. There’s good fruit intensity: black cherries, bilberry and light raspberry scents. The medium-bodied palate has slightly grainy tannins on the entry, moderate depth, and a dab of licorice, lending a little complexity toward the finish. Somehow, I am drawn as much to the Village Cru this year." —Neal Martin
