The 2023 Domaine Esmonin Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a beautifully crafted introduction to the style of one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most respected family estates. Produced by Sylvie Esmonin from carefully selected parcels in Burgundy, the wine is made with the same attention to detail that has earned the domaine a loyal following among Burgundy enthusiasts. The 2023 vintage combines purity of fruit with freshness and finesse, delivering a classic expression of Pinot Noir.
The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry alongside notes of violet, subtle spice and a touch of forest floor. The palate is silky and vibrant, combining bright red berry fruit with fine tannins and lively acidity. Hints of cranberry, crushed stone and gentle savoury complexity add depth, while the finish remains elegant, fresh and beautifully balanced. The wine offers impressive concentration and character for its level, reflecting the quality-focused approach of the Esmonin family.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A charming and authentic Burgundy that punches well above its classification. Fragrant, supple and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, charcuterie, salmon and mushroom dishes. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years while its vibrant fruit, freshness and classic Burgundian character are at their peak.
