Description
About the Producer
Sylvie Esmonin runs a 7.66 ha domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin. When she arrived at the domaine 1985 the wine was still sold in bulk. She changed that. The wine was bottled at the domaine under the Domaine Michel Esmonin et Fille label. In 1998 it was changed to Domaine Sylvie Esmonin. The domaine is not particularly old, but the family is. The family goes back to the time of the Dukes of Burgundy. The family was here long before Burgundy became French. We are a family of small winegrowers. Thanks to marriages the domaine has become what it is today. The main part of the domaine’s vineyards are located in and around Gevrey-Chambertin. In addition to that there is a small part of Volnay Santenots, as well as some Bourgogne blanc in Meursault.
