2024 Domaine Frédéric Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques Rouge 750ml

Domaine Frédéric Esmonin is a Gevrey-Chambertin family estate whose fruit was once sold to negociants like Drouhin, Jadot, and Leroy before the family began bottling under its own label in 1988. Today they hold an enviable range of Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels, including Chambertin itself, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, and Lavaux Saint-Jacques.

Made from Pinot Noir and aged in 80% new oak, the wine opens with dark red fruit, spice, and structure, carrying a distinctive graphite undercurrent typical of the domaine’s style. The palate delivers real depth and texture, characteristic of this celebrated Combe de Lavaux Premier Cru.

Lavaux Saint-Jacques is widely regarded as one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest Premier Crus, and this bottling from a family with direct Grand Cru pedigree is built for serious cellaring. It offers real collector appeal at a relative value compared to the domaine’s Grand Cru wines.

A strong choice for Burgundy collectors, milestone gifting, or anyone building a cellar around top Gevrey-Chambertin producers.
