Frederic Esmonin’s incredibly artful wine making has made the Les Genevrieres Pinot Noir a favorite wine amongst wine fans, and is difficult to procure due to limited production. This Estate wine comes from his generational family farm, and is incredibly balanced. It showcases the fresh fruit capability of Pinot Noir while being balanced with a touch of spice in the finish. This wine is impressive, and should be enjoyed with meaty entrees, spiced sides of veggies and general hardy, good food.

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. Les Genevrieres glows light red in the glass, yielding aromas of tart cranberry, ripe strawberry, and hints of brown spices. On the palate, soft cherry fruit eases into fleshed-out raspberry elements. The finish is bright and elongated, tying together a very charming, easy-to-drink Burgundy.
