Domain Sylvie Esmonin, Bourgogne Rouge

Previously known as Domaine Michel Esmonin et Fille, this eight-hectare estate in Gevrey-Chambertin has been headed up by the dynamic Sylvie Esmonin since the early ’90s. Hers are very bright, brambly expressions of Bourgogne Pinot Noir exhibiting lots of nerve and primary fruit. This bottling is sourced from a few small holdings just outside Gevrey-Chambertin and is redolent of dark berries, underbrush, and black tea. A very pure and natural style of red Burgundy, from vineyards that have been farmed without chemical inputs since Sylvie took the reins.

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
