Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a slightly deeper colour than its peers. It has a comparatively intense nose with bold black cherry and boysenberry fruit and just a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins and that chocolate tincture interlacing the red fruit with a sweet figgy finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village was picked up to 8 September and here, the malo was unfinished. This contains 50% whole bunch. The nose was a little difficult to assess because of that, though there appears to be plenty of vibrant black cherry and boysenberry fruit here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, quite fresh and harmonious with a little piquancy towards the finish. |

Burghound (89)(from vines that are to the east of D974 and mostly in Les Crais along with many other small parcels that include Le Fourneau, Reniard, Croix des Champs, Grands Champs, Champ Franc and Es Murots). A deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an fine Gevrey villages and worth your interest. |

Vinous (92)Esmonin's 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is rich, powerful and explosive. Today the Vieilles Vignes is surprisingly brooding and introspective in style. Black fruit, violets, dark spices and menthol inform the mysterious finish. The 2011 isn't quite fully formed yet, but it is impressive and full of personality, that much is clear. |

Vinous (89)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes offers dusty black fruit on the nose. It needs to demonstrate a little more Pinoté character, although pleasant floral scents do emerge with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. Lower acidity than its peers, it is a dense Gevrey-Chambertin with moderate grip, but like the Village Cru, it needs to show more Pinoté on the finish, which is muscular at the moment. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is matured in 50% new oak with 60% whole-bunch fruit. I actually like the definition on the nose, which is intense but shows decent clarity, offering copious dark cherries, marmalade and blueberry aromas. The fresh palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, delivering dark cherry and black currant fruit laced with blood orange and white pepper and coming across quite citric on the finish. Good potential. |

Introducing the elegant Sylvie Esmonin Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots 2017. This remarkable red Burgundy wine is a testament to the immaculate winemaking skills of Sylvie Esmonin, a leading female figure in the largely male-dominated Burgundy industry. Nestled in the historic French sub-region of Volnay, the Esmonin estate confidently delivers a rich terroir expression through this Premier Cru. The wine presents an exquisite balance of silky tannins and vibrant acidity, courtesy of the 2017 vintage's optimal climatic conditions. With a first ferment in French oak barrels, and subsequent aging in old oak for around 18 months, the Sylvie Esmonin Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots 2017 skilfully marries fruit intensity with a subtly spiced finish. Expect a charming palate of ripe cherry, raspberry, and a slight truffle undertone. Its striking complexity and elongated finish make the Sylvie Esmonin Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots 2017 an ideal addition to any fine wine collection. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (92)The 2019 Taillefer has evolved nicely since I tasted it from barrel. On the nose, vivacious brambly red fruit, Earl Grey, allspice and cedar aromas vie for attention. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a liberal sprinkling of white pepper and a cohesive finish. This should age well in bottle. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2020 Taillefer was tasted from two bottles. I must confess that the first left me scratching my head and did not rate it. The second is cleaner and more focused on the nose with blackberry, briary and light tertiary scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine tannins and well-judged acidity. Ah…this is much more like it. Not long, but its precision really develops nicely in the glass. My score is based on the second bottle. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
