Description
Frédéric Esmonin, once known for good-value, rustic red Burgundies, has upped his game in the last few years. The Domaine is using some of the best French oak barrels from Allier and Nevers forest wood made by Radoux and Berthomieu, which are very fine-grained barrels and reduce the oak tannins in the wines. The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles St-Jacques is a gorgeous wine. A fresh and decidedly more elegant nose reflects high-toned notes of pomegranate, red cherry, and a lovely blend of floral and forest floor scents.
