Sylvie Esmonin, Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, 2023
Old vines, village Gevrey, Sylvie Esmonin behind the wheel — this is the bottle to grab when the village cuvée feels too polite and the Clos Saint-Jacques feels too dear. The Vieilles Vignes comes from Esmonin's oldest village-level parcels, where decades of root depth translate into more concentration, more savory complexity, and more of that classic Gevrey muscle. Sylvie took over from her father Michel in 1989 and started bottling under her own name in 1996; her wines have only sharpened with each vintage. The 2023 is plush but firm — dark cherry, black plum, woodsmoke, crushed violet, and a long earthy finish that hints at the premier cru neighborhood. A serious Gevrey that punches well above village.
