Tasting notes for the Gevrey-Chambertin 2022 - Domaine Sylvie Esmonin

• EYE: This 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin displays an intense, deep ruby color with brilliant garnet highlights. Its vibrant hue reflects both the richness of the vintage and the advanced age of the vines, promising excellent concentration.
• NOSE: The nose is rich and complex, opening with generous aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by hints of black cherry. Subtle notes of undergrowth, mushroom, and leather complete the profile, enhanced by spicy and slightly toasted nuances from barrel aging.
• MOUTH: On the palate, this wine offers excellent structure, with fine but present tannins, perfectly integrated after 20 months of aging. The ripe dark fruit flavors unfold with intensity, accompanied by deeper notes of licorice, tobacco, and dark chocolate. The texture is velvety, with a subtle minerality adding freshness. The finish is long and persistent, marked by touches of vanilla and sweet spices, highlighting the well-managed oak influence.

In short: This 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin from Domaine Sylvie Esmonin is a wine that combines power and refinement, while showcasing the authentic expression of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir. Its rich, floral nose precedes a structured and elegant palate, with a fresh and persistent finish. It can be enjoyed now for its freshness and fruit, but also has significant aging potential (up to 10 years). This wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, such as beef fillet, spiced duck, or slow-cooked dishes in sauce.
