Domaine Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 2009 is a powerful expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Premier Crus. Sylvie Esmonin’s use of whole-cluster fermentation and a high percentage of new oak provides a robust framework for the dense black fruit and spice notes of this warm vintage. In magnum format, the wine’s massive structure and opulent texture are preserved with greater freshness, allowing the complex notes of liquorice and toasted earth to emerge slowly.
