Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques•2022

Generous black cherry and cassis surge from the glass of Sylvie Esmonin’s 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques, layered with sweet spice, dark chocolate and a floral lift that hints at its class. The palate is plush yet firmly structured, with dense, fine tannins and well‑integrated whole-bunch character framing its ripe, concentrated fruit, while the new oak is presently marked but promises to fold into the wine’s core with time. This is a powerful, modern-styled Clos St Jacques that remains balanced and poised for long aging.
