Sylvie Esmonin's entry-tier red — and one of the most reliable Bourgogne Rouges on the shelf, year after year. The Cuvée Sylvie comes from younger vines and parcels just outside Gevrey's village boundary, made with the same hands-off attention as her grand cru-adjacent bottlings. Sylvie took over from her father Michel in 1989 and has been bottling under her own name since 1996; her wines reward those who know that the producer matters as much as the appellation. The 2023 is supple and fragrant — bright Pinot fruit, a little crunchy red cherry, a whisper of stem spice, and the polished texture that marks every wine from this address. House Pinot for people who care where their Pinot comes from.

More about Sylvie Esmonin

Domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin with a 15th-century family lineage and five hectares of vineyard. Sylvie studied oenology in Dijon and her wines are marked by high whole-cluster fermentation—lots of stem tannins, lots of terroir. Clos Saint-Jacques is their crown jewel.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, charcuterie, mushroom pasta, pork tenderloin with cherries, duck confit salad, or a wedge of Comté. Versatile enough for a weeknight, serious enough for company.

Tasting Profile

Supple and fragrant. Crunchy red cherry, raspberry, a whisper of stem spice and earth. Medium-bodied with soft tannins, lively acidity, and a clean, lifted finish.

Aurelien Suenen makes some of the most crystalline and pure Chardonnay with bubbles we've ever found. His vineyards are in the Côte de Blancs, a long north-to-south running escarpment of pure chalk. It faces east, where minerality is nearly a given; exploring each village and vineyard's nuanced expressions provide endless fun to the wine-obsessed (like us!).

Until the Grower movement of the last two decades, single vineyard wines were a rarity in Champagne. Of course, Salon has been always been a single vineyard wine, since 1905, and Pierre Péters started bottling Les Chetillons in 1971. Aurelien found inspiration from these star producers and followed suit, leading his own young generation with his site-specific bottlings.

To coax the most minerality out of the inherently salty, stony soils of the Côte de Blancs, Aurelien has converted his farming to organics, a challenge in this marginal and wet climate. In the cellar he has returned to using old, neutral barrels, along with old acacia and some concrete tun, allowing the wine to breath and coalesce over the long 6-8 month aging, before the second fermentation in the bottle.

Only indigenous yeasts are used, and paired with limited SO2, each barrel continues along its own path; some will complete malolactic fermentation and others will not. All of this just adds to the complexity of every vintage.
