Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques, Domaine Esmonin 2020

Tasting Notes

56% whole bunch but with the principal stem removed. From new wood, 75% in all, no malolactic yet. Really deep noble purple black. The bouquet is very backward at the moment. A huge wave of dark fruit washes over the palate, with surprising elegance given the exceptional power. This will remain a Sylvie style wine more than a classic Clos St-Jacques, but it will be lovely.

93/96
