This Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 1997 from Frédéric Esmonin comes from the limestone slopes of Côte de Nuits. This Pinot Noir offers notes of cherry and spice and a velvety, mineral palate. Ideal with game or aged cheese, it is ready to enjoy.
Nestled in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, this family estate embodies the heritage of authentic Burgundy, shaped by four decades of passion passed from father to son.- Terroir : 4 hectares of vines in Côte de Nuits, where the clay-limestone soils of the Grands Crus – including the prestigious Griottes-Chambertin – give the wines chalky minerality and unique depth.- Winemaking : A traditional approach that respects the fruit and uses barrel aging to produce cuvées of precise elegance, allowing the tension of Pinot Noir to shine through with purity.
Tasting notes for Domaine Frédéric Esmonin Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 1997
- In the glass : A garnet hue with brick-red highlights and silky depth, revealing harmonious maturity and an almost velvety texture.- On the nose : A bouquet that opens with notes of ripe sour cherry and blackcurrant, followed by aromas of woodland, licorice and a touch of violet, all underscored by subtle mineral salinity.- On the palate : A lively, taut opening supported by silky tannins and well-balanced acidity gives way to a long, chalky finish with nuances of truffle and sweet spice.
Serve between 14 and 16°C in a Burgundy glass to reveal its full complexity.
1997 vintage
A vintage marked by early ripeness and rare balance, where generous fruit meets an already integrated tannic structure, producing a wine that is both approachable and profound.- Aging potential : Enjoy it now, having stored it under ideal conditions (stable temperature and controlled humidity).
