Fine middleweight flavors, gentle minerality and detail. Mildly tangy but lingering bitter pit fruit-inflected finish where a touch of warmth slowly emerges. This is a wine of finesse from the family-run Domaine Frederic Esmonin. One of Burgundy's most reliable high-quality producers, and one of its smallest. With just 10 acres under vine, their releases range in size from 75 to 300 cases.
