2024, Domaine Frédéric Esmonin, GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, 1er Cru, 'Estournelles St. Jacques'

Very highly rated premier cru and one of the signature wines from Esmonin.

Strikingly elegant, pure and airy aromas of the essence of just crushed red currant, cherry and newly turned earth. The supple, caressing and refined flavours are less obviously powerful if even more mineral-driven, all wrapped in a sneaky long and youthfully austere finale. As it always is, this is a wine of finesse and grace though one that should age well. Outstanding.
