Hailing from one of the most iconic villages of the Côte de Nuits, this 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin by Sylvie Esmonin perfectly captures the full character of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. Renowned for its exacting approach to viticulture and its commitment to the identity of each terroir, the estate has produced a wine that is at once deep, refined and remarkably balanced. The 2022 vintage yielded perfectly ripe grapes, offering fine concentration whilst preserving the freshness essential to great Burgundian Pinot Noirs. From the very first sniff, the wine reveals generous aromas of black cherry, morello cherry and ripe raspberry, accompanied by delicate floral notes reminiscent of violets. With aeration, more complex nuances emerge: liquorice, sweet spices, forest floor and a subtle mineral touch characteristic of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroirs. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and elegant. The texture is silky whilst retaining a lovely, perfectly integrated tannic structure. The flavours of red and black fruits linger with intensity, underpinned by a controlled freshness that brings dynamism and precision. The long, harmonious finish allows the appellation's full nobility to shine through, with spicy notes and remarkable aromatic persistence. This 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin will appeal equally to connoisseurs of fine Burgundy wines and to collectors seeking a wine capable of ageing favourably in the cellar for several years. It is the perfect accompaniment to grilled or roasted red meats, duck breast, pigeon, beef fillet, and mature hard cheeses. Enjoy it now after a brief aeration to savour its vibrant fruitiness, or lay it down to discover the full complexity it will develop over time.
