Domaine Michel & Sylvie Esmonin
Domaine Michel & Sylvie Esmonin works the vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, the storied heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. The domaine's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir—the region's defining grape—with two expressions that anchor its reputation. The Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin draws from mature vines, while the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Clos St Jacques' comes from one of the appellation's most respected terroirs. Both have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The domaine also produces a Bourgogne Aligoté, a white wine from the region's secondary grape variety. These wines reflect the precision and structure characteristic of the Côte de Nuits, where limestone-rich soils and continental climate shape wines of mineral depth and aging potential.
