ドメーヌ・ミシェル・エ・シルヴィ・エスモナン
Profile
ジュヴレ・シャンベルタン村に本拠を置くドメーヌ・ミシェル・エ・シルヴィ・エスモナンは、同村を代表する銘醸畑クロ・サン=ジャックのみを所有する極めて稀な構成の造り手である。このプルミエ・クリュの総面積は6.7ヘクタールに及ぶが、ドメーヌはそのうちの1.6ヘクタールという広大な区画を単独で保持している。この畑は南と東の両方向から完璧な日照を享受できる類稀な立地にあり、村内の他の一級畑とは一線を画す存在感を放つ。所有畑を一箇所に絞り込み、特筆すべきポテンシャルを持つ歴史的なクリュの個性を純粋に表現することに注力している。ジュヴレの伝統を象徴するこの一等地に深く根ざした栽培と醸造を通じて、テロワールの本質を映し出すワイン造りを守り続けているドメーヌである。

1History
Domaine Michel & Sylvie Esmonin is a Gevrey-Chambertin estate with a single but significant holding: 1.60 hectares of Clos Saint-Jacques. The Esmonin family has deep roots in Gevrey — a separate branch runs Domaine Sylvie Esmonin — and this domaine represents the couple's own operation within the same village.
Winemaking Approach
Everything flows from one Premier Cru parcel. Clos Saint-Jacques sits on the western flank of the Gevrey-Chambertin hill above the village, with an easterly exposure and soils that produce Gevrey's most perfumed, structured expression short of the Grand Crus proper. At 1.60 ha, the holding is substantial enough to form a genuine single-vineyard program.
