The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin from Domaine Sylvie Esmonin is a classic, structured expression of the appellation, combining ripe fruit with earthy depth and firm underlying structure.
On the nose, it opens with a mix of red and dark berries—black cherry, raspberry, and blackberry—layered with violet florals and subtle spice. As it evolves, more savoury complexity emerges, including undergrowth, leather, and lightly smoky, toasted nuances, reflecting both terroir and élevage.
On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with notable concentration, showing dense fruit supported by ripe, finely grained tannins. There is a clear Gevrey signature—power, structure, and a slightly sauvage edge—balanced by freshness and subtle mineral lift. The texture is supple yet firm, giving both immediate appeal and aging potential.
The finish is long, structured, and slightly austere in youth, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, earth, and mineral grip, suggesting it will integrate beautifully with time.
