Maison Jessiaume 2008 Pinot Noir (Chapelle-Chambertin)
- $105
An impressive wine, full of smoky fruit, concentrated black cherry flavors and rich acidity. It has a complete feel to it, the tannins well integrated into the heart of the wine. There is a final freshness, liveliness, but don’t be fooled—age it for at least seven years.

Maison Jessiaume 2008 Pinot Noir (Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $115
At the pinnacle of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin Grand Cru produces immensely powerful wines. This Jessiaume fits the profile well, while also having delicious juiciness to go with the dark tannins and acidity. The result is stylish as well as concentrated. Age for 10 years at least.

Maison Jessiaume 2007 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
Tight and still young, a wine that brings out the intense acidity of the vintage, hiding its power and potential at the moment. But both are there, offering a concentrated wine that will develop slowly as befits its Grand Cru status.

Maison Jessiaume 2008 Pinot Noir (Mazis-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $110
Mineral textured, this wine pushes the power of wines in Gevrey-Chambertin. It is all tannins, dark structure, powerful acidity, very concentrated. It needs many years—10 or more.

Maison Jessiaume 2008 Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
- $105
Rich, packed with juicy fruit. The wine has weight, depth of fruit flavor and tannins as a central core. A smoky character indicates the wood aging, packing in with the acidity and black cherry fruits on the finish. Age for 5–8 years.

Maison Jessiaume 2008 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
- $80
An appropriately rich wine, full, toasty and dense. The fruit is beautifully balanced with ripe acidity, just a touch of spice, citrus and an opulent, full-bodied character. It will certainly age, but is already very drinkable.

Maison Jessiaume 2008 Pinot Noir (Corton Perrières)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
Structured and concentrated, this is a wine for long-term aging. It has powerful dark tannins, acidity, a touch of leather and farmyard, all adding to the complexity of this dense wine. Age for at least six years.
— R.V.

Maison Jessiaume 2008 Aux Echanges Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)
- $55
A straight, austere wine, very concentrated. Tannins are solidly extracted, giving a dry tough edge. It definitely needs aging.
