90pts Wilfred Wong of Wine

The 2023 Frédéric Esmonin Bourgogne Les Genévrières is soft and stylish on the palate. This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of aromatic root beer, savory spices, and hints of oak. Try it with slow-roasted lamb in parchment.

Winemaker Notes

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.

Winemaker Notes

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.
