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 Esmonins 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.

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. Racking only takes place when the wine is ready to be bottled (without filtration).

Critics agree that it is the balance and complexity that make Domaine Frederic Esmonin stand out. Clive Coates, from the Cote dOr, writes "The wines are rich in colour, virile, profound and concentrated." Likewise, Remington Norman, MW, wrote in The Great Domaines of Burgundy, "Together, Andre and Frederic have propelled their Domaine into the upper echelons of Gevrey quality." Critics, too, recognize that Domaine Frederic Esmonin is below the radar for the highest echelon of Burgundy collectors, hence the pricing is still affordable. "Of special interest here are the multiple reasonably priced Gevrey grand crus, says Stephen Tanzer from IWC.
