Domaine Frédéric Esmonin

Esmonin told me that 2007 was the first year he has treated his vines against rot. Still, the wines are all about fruit and should give early pleasure. Some of the 2007s are as dense as the '06s, especially at the grand cru level, noted Esmonin, who indicated a preference for the Ruchottes-Chambertin among his '07s, as in '06 and '05. Incidentally, Esmonin has lost his source of Chambertin, as "Damoy didn't have enough." And, as followers of these wines know, Esmonin's old fermage arrangement with Moillard for Clos de Beze, Chambertin and Bonnes-Mares is history. I tasted the just-bottled 2007s in the Esmonins' cramped office, which was stuffed to the gills with cartons of wine. (The '06s were covered in Issue 137.) (Atherton Wine Imports, Atherton, CA) Also recommended: Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur (86), Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jouises (86).
