Domaine Sylvie Esmonin

  • France Burgundy
Located on the edge of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, at the foot of the legendary Clos Saint-Jacques, Sylvie Esmonin has cultivated seven hectares under her own name since 1988. A passionate vigneron, she spends most of her time in the vines. The domaine has followed biodynamic principles for over 20 years and is fully organic. Grapes are de-stemmed, crushed, and fermented in open wooden vats before going into barrel for malolactic fermentation and ageing. Barrels are of various ages to accommodate different cuvées, with only Clos Saint-Jacques using a higher proportion of new oak. Only gravity pumping is used, and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.

Apart from the catastrophic frosts, the threat of mildew was incredibly challenging for organic growers such as Sylvie Esmonin, ‘so difficult' she recounted. The 2021 harvest started
on 21st September and ended on 28th.
