| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nSupple in texture, this red boasts cherry, black currant, graphite and earth notes. Starts out very elegant for the appellation, picking up firm tannins and more weight on the long finish. located in the north of the C\u00f4te de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin is world-famous, not only for its superlative Grand Crus, but also for all its other vineyards. On the south part of the village, the Clos Prieur Premier Cru is close to Mazis-Chambertin.\r\nThis wine is great with simply cooked rare meat, rack of lamb with a herb crust, seared duck breast and mushroom based dishes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Domaine Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Esmonin\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDomaine Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Esmonin, from Burgundy's Gevrey-Chambertain appellation, is a true family collaboration that consists of Frederic, his father, Andr\u00e9, 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.\r\nAccess to some of the best vineyard plots in the region is Esmonin\u2019s greatest fortunes. Today they have Grand Cru parcels and Premier Cru parcel in some of the regions top vineyard sites. And since the best Burgundy wines start with the best grapes, Esmonin uses their decades of farming experience to optimize these plots. But farming is only part of what they do well. Esmonin also employs winemaking techniques that are gentle to the grapes and produce the finest possible quality level. Using a new bladder-press, Esmonin has excellent control over the amount of pressure exerted on the grapes, which are picked only when they have reached ideal ripeness. After a short cold maceration gives the wines an extra dimension of fruit, they are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels of Allier and Nevers forest wood made by Radoux and Berthomieu, two of the very best coopers. Wines are aged in barrels of varying age and toast and then blended in order to achieve optimum balance and complexity. The Domaine ages its wines in wooden casks for between 14 to 17 months. Typically, the grand cru and Lavaut Saint-Jacques Premier Cru wines see 80 percent new oak, whereas the village-level wines are aged in 20 percent new oak. |
