Notes from the Sorting Table:
"Not long after purchasing vineyards in the late 1960s and releasing his first wines in the early 1970s Jacques Seysses became an international icon. His ability to coax the utmost flavor and texture from his grapes set him apart from his Burgundian brethren. Today, the estate is transitioning from one generation to the next. Son Jeremy is heavily involved in winemaking and marketing; Diana Snowden, Jeremy’s wife and a U. C. Davis graduate in enology, has taken over cellar management; and son Alec, is assuming many of his father’s administrative duties. The infusion of new blood has proved a boon, allowing this remarkable estate to maintain its position as one of Burgundy’s most elite producers."
Wine Advocate:
"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers is showing especially well, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, orange zest and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, it's sensual and fragrant, with a vibrant core of fruit and a saline finish."
