About the estate

Located in the old village of Gevrey-Chambertin, at the foot of Clos Saint Jacques, Domaine Sylvie ESMONIN operates 10 Ha. Clos Saint Jacques is the flagship of the produced appellations. 

This Burgundy vineyard located in Gevrey-Chambertin is unique in that it was founded and is run by a woman. This is quite rare in the region. It is one of the references of the Côte de Nuits in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation.
Agronomist engineer, Sylvie Esmonin first honed her skills as an oenologist in several estates before joining the family estate, then called Michel Esmonin (after her father) and later Michel Esmonin et Fille, in the 1990s.
In 1998, she spread her wings and vinified her own wines. The entire estate is cultivated organically and covers 8 hectares. The annual production is about 25,000 bottles.
