Description
 
Esmonin is becoming one of the most consistent, high quality producers in Gevrey. They are now using a new bladder-press and have excellent control over the amount of pressure exerted on the grapes, which are picked only when they have reached ideal ripeness. After a short cold maceration gives the wines an extra dimension of fruit, they are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels of Allier and Nevers forest wood made by Radoux and Berthomieu, two of the very best coopers. Wines are aged in barrels of varying age and toast and then blended in order to achieve optimum balance and complexity.

A distinctly cool and airy nose exhibits notes of red and dark pinot fruit along with a plethora of soil and underbrush nuances that make this very Gevrey in character. What makes this different from a typical LSJ is the silky mouth feel of the middle weight flavors that exude a discreet minerality onto the dusty, serious and once again tautly muscular finale. This is also very good provided that you have the patience to wait at least a few years. AM 91
