SYLVIE ESMONIN - Clos Saint Jacques Magnum 2016
Gevrey Chambertin
(11-2019) Smoldering black tea, bay leaf and tobacco hints swirl around a core of gently mulled black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors, ending with singed mesquite and sassafras notes. Sneakily long. This will take time to unwind in the cellar. Best from 2021 through 2040.
(10-2017) Gorgeously pure black fruit on the nose and palate with a lifted black cherry and blackcurrant intensity. Firmly tannic, leaving a sticky grip on the finish. Hardcore, savoury, dense. Not an easy wine to taste young, but should give much greater pleasure with (lots of) bottle age. (RH)
