Founded in the 1970s, Frédéric Esmonin is a 4-hectare estate situated in the Côtes de Nuits district. Most of their holdings have very old vines and the production of each cuvée is very limited. This is the domaine’s Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru from 2006, a vintage that produced wines with good fruit purity. The wine boasts notes of black cherries, forest berries, spices and just a hint of caramel.

Vinous
Red-ruby. Ripe aromas of blackberry, strawberry and game; less floral than the Mazis. Then suave, silky and sappy, with excellent richness to the flavors of small wild berries and smoked meat. This is quite complex and perfumed in the mouth but quickly closed up in the glass. Finishes firm and clean, with substantial dusty tannins and a brisk quality that titillates the taste buds.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008
