Cote de Nuits Villages 2018 Sylvie Esmonin
Cote de Nuits Villages 2018 is a natural French wine from the Burgundy region, produced by Sylivie Esmonin. The property comprises 5 hectares in the Gevrey-Chambertin, with a beautiful extension of the Premier Cru Clos St-Jacques as the "backyard" family house, and the newly added vineyards in Volnay Santenots and Côte-de-Nuits-Village. The average age of the vines is high, most of which were planted by Sylvie's grandfather, and some by her father. The cellar is very large, with a beautiful stone cellar below. All the production steps are carried out with great care: the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in open wooden vats, then placed in barrels for secondary fermentation and aging. The barrels are of various ages to accommodate the different cuvées. This Cote de Nuits Villages 2018 is a typical Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Gevrey-Chambertin area, with a great finesse: it shows a bright ruby color. Primary hints prevail on the nose, the fruit of the natural ripening of the grapes: black fruits such as cherries and blackberries. A somewhat free-range nature that perhaps requires a few more years of rest in order to better express its balance. The valid structure is however supported by a silky tannin. Perfect if combined with first courses, second courses with meat and roasts, medium-aged cheeses.
