Note di degustazione
(vinified with 50% whole clusters): Good bright red, less ruby than the regular village offering. Highly nuanced aromas of dark raspberry, coffee, leather, mocha and game bird; more red than black in its fruit character. Dense, lush and sweet but with excellent precision to its berry and game flavors. This has premier cru weight, depth and palate presence. The superb slowly mounting finish features fully ripe tannins and surprising energy for such a rich wine. This would be perfect now with a piece of beef--or hold it for ten years.

The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes emerges from the glass with super-ripe black berries, blueberries, licorice and tar. The Vieilles Vignes impresses for its sheer depth and power, but despite its size, there is plenty of underlying minerality to support the fruit. It remains a big, muscular wine in need of considerable cellaring, though. Esmonin used 60% whole clusters on the Vieilles Vignes.

Sylvie Esmonin described 2010 as one the coldest years on record since the 1950s. After a rainy summer, the harvest started at the end of September and finished on October 6. Yields were down 40-60%. Esmonin vinified the 2010s slowly and gently. The malos did not finish until August. I tasted all of the wines from tank. The Cote de Nuits-Villages and Gevrey-Chambertin were too reduced to evaluate, so I will have to wait for another opportunity to taste them. Based on what I did taste, 2010 is a fabulous vintage at this address. Importer: Louis/Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 334-8191
(60% vendange entier ): Good bright, deep red. Wild, highly complex nose combines black cherry, black raspberry, brown spices, coffee, minerals, pepper and violet; reminded me a bit of Cote-Rotie. Then thick but bright on the palate, with harmonious acidity giving clarity to the flavors of black raspberry, leather and game. Utterly silky, layered wine, with substantial dusty tannins buried in fruit. Finishes with superb length. The crop level here was less than 30 hectoliters per hectare, according to Esmonin.
