Frederic Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Estournelles St-Jacques 1er Cru 2022 (750ML)

93 WS / 90 BH

Rich and juicy, this red exhibits fresh cherry, blackberry, tobacco and spice flavors. A tightly wound line of tannins trims the finish, yet there's ample fruit. Best from 2027 through 2043. —B.S., Wine Spectator

A more elegant and spicier nose reflects notes of poached plum, violet and crushed anise. As is almost always the case, the middleweight flavors are both more refined and more mineral-driven if less powerful and muscular, all wrapped in an equally austere finale where the only nit is a touch of warmth. - Allen Meadows,  Burghound
