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.

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 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Village 6x75cl
Darker, more savoury, explosive and spicy, much more muscular and structured than the previous cuvées - we are getting into 1er Cru territory here yet retaining the precision and purity of fruit cosseted in fleshy, juicy texture that is, in my opinion, the hallmark of the estate. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
"The care and effort that goes into assembling this village Gevrey is second to none. Wines from ten or more small parcels are carefully woven together, with each complimenting the other. Light stony... soils bring a subtle elegance, body and robustness comes from a selection of clay-based vines and complexity and fine structure from fruit taken from land abutting the grands crus. This year is again masterful displaying a powerful and robust ripe cherry nose that unfolds in the mouth to give a spicy elegant expression of pure pinot fruit. The tannic ramparts bode well for excellent medium-term ageing, and all together this is genuinely a true pleasure." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2019 Sylvie Esmonin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieillles Vignes 6x75cl
Holding fast to Gevrey's famous structural character, Sylvie's village Gevrey-Chambertin takes on bolder dimensions this year. Alongside the classic notions of summer pudding, raspberry compote and... cranberry aromatics come more intense notions of black cherry and spiced plum. There is exotic spice, cinnamon and all-spice and even a hint of mocca, too. Generous and giving with succulent red berry flavours, there is exquisite freshness and structure which help foil this village wine par excellence.

2019 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Champonnet 6x75cl
"Delicious gorgeous purple. 100% whole bunch but smothered by the fruit. A balanced headiness if you like, and beautifully attractive. The stems add a little structure, almost some muscle to the back, which I think is valuable in these richer years." 92-95 pts., Jasper Morris MW

2021 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Champonnet 6x75cl
Juicy black cherry flecked with black pepper and clove follow the seductive, open aromatics that a whole-bunch fermentation approach provides. Intensely flavoured, firmly structured, finishing long and savoury. Great ageing potential in the 2021. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

"The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, matured in 40% new oak with 40% whole bunch, has an intense bouquet of black cherries, iodine and blueberry aromas that burst from the glass. The intense palate... is medium-bodied with supple tannins, blood-orange-infused red fruit and a touch of pain d’épices and black pepper toward the finish. Fine." 90-92, Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2018 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Evocelles 1x300cl
From a vineyard high up the slope on the northern side of Gevrey-Chambertin, this is a very smart and assured wine with real presence and power. The southern exposition of the site brings striking... ripeness and intensity. Under the surface there is minerality and elegance, whilst the initial impression is expressive black fruits with a touch of liquorice. Definitely 1er Cru quality.

2021 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Sourced from 65-year-old vines, minty notes and a hint of liquorice open up this classic expression of Gevrey in which whole-bunch vinification give its seductive aromatics further lift. The oak... regime is delightfully modest, allowing a greater depth to the wine's dark, cherry-fruit core that is articulated by delicate but firm tannins. An exceptional pinot.
