ABOUT THIS WINE

The grapes are 100% destemmed to avoid harsh, green herbaceous notes. They are then gently pressed using a modern bladder-press, which provides precise pressure control to minimize seed crushing and bitter tannin extraction. The must undergo a short pre-fermentation cold soak (maceration). This critical step gently extracts bright primary red fruit aromas, rich color, and fruit dimensions without pulling heavy, aggressive tannins from the skins. 
Fermentation is driven by indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 14 to 17 months in carefully curated French oak barrels sourced from the Allier and Nevers forests. Casks with varying toast levels and ages are blended to achieve optimal freshness and aromatic balance. The wine is racked only right before bottling and is bottled without filtration to preserve its natural, pure fruit characteristics.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Domaine Frédéric Esmonin, from Burgundy's Gevrey-Chambertain appellation, is a true family collaboration that consists of Frederic, his father, André, and his mother, Michele. They have been farming their 10-acres of family vineyards for generations and selling their fruit to the likes of Drouhin, Jadot, and Leroy. In 1988 they began to commercialize their own labels today they are producing consistently high-quality, beautiful wines that represent a great value considering their pedigree.

Access to some of the best vineyard plots in the region is Esmonin’s greatest fortunes. Today they have Grand Cru parcels in Ruchottes-Chambertin (50+ Year Old Vines), Mazis-Chambertin (40+ Year Old Vines), Chambertin Clos de Beze, Bonnes-Mares and Chambertin. They also have Premier Cru parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin: "Estournelles St-Jacques," "Lavaux St-Jacques," "Champonnets." The rest comes from: Gevrey-Chambertin "Les Jouises Vieilles Vignes," Nuits "Hauts Pruliers," Gevrey "Clos Prieur," Pernand Vergelesses "Les Boutieres," Cote de Nuits Village "La Belle Vue," and Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits. And since the best Burgundy wines start with the best grapes, Esmonin uses their decades of farming experience to optimize these plots.
