SYLVIE ESMONIN
Domaine Sylvie Esmonin is one of Burgundy’s most respected family-owned estates, located in Gevrey-Chambertin in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Since taking over the domaine from her father Michel Esmonin in 1998, Sylvie Esmonin has established a reputation as one of Burgundy’s leading winemakers, crafting wines that combine power, finesse, and remarkable terroir expression.
The estate's vineyards are situated across some of the most prestigious sites in Gevrey-Chambertin, including the renowned Premier Cru Clos Saint-Jacques, widely regarded as one of the finest vineyards in Burgundy. The limestone and clay soils of the Côte de Nuits, combined with a cool continental climate, provide ideal conditions for producing Pinot Noir of exceptional complexity and longevity.Domaine Sylvie Esmonin is particularly celebrated for its Gevrey-Chambertin wines. The Pinot Noir typically displays aromas of red cherry, blackberry, raspberry, violet, rose petal, spice, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, the wines combine concentration, silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and mineral precision, offering both immediate appeal and outstanding ageing potential.
The winery follows a meticulous approach in both vineyard and cellar. Low yields, careful vineyard management, and minimal intervention allow each vineyard site to express its unique identity. Oak is used judiciously to enhance complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit.
The flagship Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is considered one of the benchmark wines of the appellation, admired by collectors and critics for its depth, elegance, and longevity. Across the range, Domaine Sylvie Esmonin consistently produces wines that reflect the finest traditions of Burgundian winemaking.
Today, Sylvie Esmonin is recognised as one of the leading producers of Gevrey-Chambertin, creating wines sought after by collectors, sommeliers, and Burgundy enthusiasts around the world.
