Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques, Domaine Esmonin 2011

**Note: 40+ year old vines aged in 100% new oak with 80% whole clusters**This is also notably floral in character but with more obvious complexity and refinement to the cool and ultra-pure red and dark berry fruit aromas that evidence traces of earth and wood spice. There is superb intensity to the tension-filled, detailed and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the notably firm, moderately austere and beautifully long finish. This should also reward longer-term cellaring but is sufficiently forward that it could be approached young as well.

There is superb intensity to the tension-filled, detailed and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the notably firm, moderately austere and beautifully long finish. The stems are very much in evidence here and it will be a few years before this fully harmonizes but this should be seriously good in time though note that plenty of it will be necessary.
