This is a very authentic, layered wine with plenty of red and black fruits, toasted spice with hints of minerals and earth. Medium-bodied with good intensity. Nice balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins make this a great food wine.

Domaine Frédéric Esmonin, from Burgundy's Gevrey-Chambertain appellation, is a true family collaboration that consists of Frederic, his father, André, and his mother, Michele. They have been farming their 10-acres of family vineyards for generations and selling their fruit to the likes of Drouhin, Jadot, and Leroy. In 1988 they began to commercialize their own labels today they are producing consistently high-quality, beautiful wines that represent a great value considering their pedigree.
