Located in the old part of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, at the foot of the legendary Clos Saint Jacques vineyard, since 1988 the scrupulous Sylvie cultivates 7 ha under her own name. Her deep knowledge of the vines and meticulous vinification techniques result in wines of great maturity and intensity, capable of great ageing potential. As you’d expect, these wines are in very high demand and Mr.Wheeler are delighted to be offering a selection of Sylvie’s wines for the third vintage in a row. We urge you to snap up a case or two of these sensational wines, whilst you can.

Tasting Notes
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.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2035

2021 Yves Boyer-Martenot, Auxey-Duresses, Les Ecussaux 6x75cl
"A new addition to our portfolio from one of the up-and-coming appellations in the Côte d'Or, Vincent's Auxey-Duresses is a blend of 50% 1er Cru fruit and 50% Villages fruit. Pretty, aromatic and... juicy with a lovely weight on the mid-palate and lightly grippy, raspy tannins. Joyful and eminently gluggable yet there is a serious, structured edge that will see it reach its peak at 5-6 years old. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Domaine Henri Magnien, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Aromatic, floral with notes of spearmint lifting the core of black cherry liqueur and winter spice, this boasts a wonderfully seductive texture and fruit-coated structure. 15% whole bunch really... opens up the nose. On the palate, very precise and harmonious already, long on the finish, this is an approachable Villages bottling, yet it will age beautifully for the best part of the 15 years to come.

2020 Domaine Joseph Voillot, Volnay Premier Cru, Fremiets 6x75cl
Domaine Joseph Voillot holds 10 hectares of vineyards spanning the communes of Volnay and Pommard. Jean Pierre Charlot’s wines offer understatement and elegance, and in 2020 they have also... delivered fruit richness and an intensity rarely captured in Volnay and Pommard. These wines are impossible to ignore, showing modern classicism whilst perfectly expressing the wine’s unique terroirs. These are wines which speak so eloquently of their individual sites and are the essence of pinot noir. For buyers keen to experience the purity and poise of Volnay and Pommard in a great vintage, look no further than Domaine Joseph Voillot.

2020 Domaine Anne et Herve Sigaut, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Groseilles 6x75cl
Siblings Anne and Hervé Sigaut manage a domaine established at the dawn of the 19th Century, yet they have embraced modern winemaking practices where it makes sense, balancing heritage and 21st... century know-how beautifully. The leitmotif here is one shared with many of the top addresses up and down the Côte d'Or - "great wine is made in the vineyard". The attention to detail and perfectionism are impressive, and yield perfect fruit, which is dealt with with the utmost delicacy and respect in the winery, by a team very mindful of what Chambolle-Musigny is all about - delicacy, elegance and silky texture. This is a new domaine to us this year, and we are very excited to bring these wines to you.
Within Anne's range Groseilles is a more reined in, subtle and harmonious cuvée. Such lovely, gentle energy on the finish; crunchy red cherry fruit and a spine of ripe, softly-edged, acidic structure. Superbly, expertly balanced.

2020 Comte Armand, Volnay Premier Cru, Fremiets 6x75cl
*ON ALLOCATION - £408 per case of 6 bottles IB*
One of the very finest producers in all of Burgundy, Domaine du Comte Armand is approaching its 200th anniversary very much at the top of its game.... After Pascal Marchant from 1985 to 1998, Benjamin Leroux from 1999 to 2013, Paul Zinetti is the third highly talented winemaker at the helm of this grand estate, and he is producing wines of rare depth, purity and character. The monumental Clos des Epeneaux, for a long time the only wine produced here, still gives the best Grands Crus a run for their money, but just as impressive is the unbeatable value delivered by the Auxey-Duresses cuvées and the delicacy and perfume of the Volnays. You can't go wrong at this address.

2020 Sylvie Esmonin, Volnay Premier Cru, Santenots 6x75cl
Although firmly based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Sylvie also does a mere 0.17 hectares of this Volnay Premier Cru. And making wines of such maturity and complexity as she does in the Cote d'Or, here her... rendering of pinot noir planted on Les Santenots' clay-rich terroir makes for a full-bodied wine, velvety in texture and cleanly defined. Fresh violets on the nose, lots of black cherry and mild spice with finely tuned tannins on the palate, it retains great freshness, depth and length finishing up.

2020 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Made from carefully selected grapes from 10 tiny locations across the appellation this delightful wine has great finesse and presence. There is a stack of clean ripe cherry fruit and a lovely tannic... structure that secures its mid-term aging potential. Like all the Rossignol-Trapet wines they get the balance between high quality and great value absolutely spot on!

2020 Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Premier Cru, Les Mitans 6x75cl
Benjamin has been a good friend of ours since his days at Comte Armand, and his powerful, impressive winemaking style shines through in 2020 where concentration meets with backbone and guile in the... Volnay commune. He remembers his first ever visit to the UK back in 1999 where he spent some time staying with Richard Wheeler (Johnny's father, sadly passed away last year), memorable not least for the friendly dispute regarding the relative merits of local Mersea native Oysters versus their French counterparts! Benjamin’s Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans reflects the greatest attributes of this excellent vintage. Density, richness and structure are all to the fore in a cuvée which gets better with every passing vintage.

2019 Joseph Roty, Marsannay, Rouge 6x75cl
"A blend of several parcels mainly from the mid-slope, the 2019 Marsannay Village has a perfumed floral bouquet, a mixture of blueberry and blackberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple... tannins and slightly tarry black fruit laced with blood orange toward the cohesive finish. Very well-knit. This should age with style." 89-91 pts, Neal Martin, www.vinous.com
