About Winery
Domaine Frédéric Esmonin traces its origins to the 1970s, when André Esmonin established the family estate in Gevrey-Chambertin after generations of selling fruit to major négociants. In 1988, his son Frédéric joined the domaine, and together they began bottling and marketing wines under their own label, marking a turning point in the family’s history. Frédéric also launched a négociant brand, Les Estournelles, while expanding vineyard holdings to include prestigious Grand Cru parcels such as Ruchottes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Bonnes-Mares, and Chambertin itself, alongside Premier Cru sites like Lavaux St-Jacques and Estournelles St-Jacques. Today, the domaine spans about 4 hectares, producing wines aged traditionally in oak casks for 14–17 months, with careful use of new oak depending on vineyard status. Known for their purity, structure, and value relative to Burgundy’s elite terroirs, Frédéric Esmonin’s wines embody the family’s evolution from grape suppliers to respected independent producers in the Côte de Nuits.
