2017 Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge, Domaine Sylvie Esmonin
"...It has an intense nose of black cherries, blueberry and light violet aromas, plus just a faint marine note in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, offering a mixture of red and black fruit, white pepper and a fine structure toward the finish. This is a delightful cuvee from Sylvie Esmonin."
