Description
The history of Domaine Evenstad and its Burgundian roots
Domaine Evenstad was founded in 2021 by American couple Grace and Ken Evenstad, known for the award-winning Domaine Serene in Oregon. With a passion for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, they expanded their wine empire to Burgundy, where they manage 6 hectares of vineyards spread across prestigious appellations such as Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Clos de Vougeot. Their goal is to produce wines that express the unique characteristics of each terroir, combining traditional Burgundian methods with modern techniques.
Côte de Nuits-Villages: an appellation with character
The Côte de Nuits-Villages appellation, recognized since 1964, covers five communes: Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux-Prissey, Comblanchien and Corgoloin. These areas lie on the northern and southern borders of the Côte de Nuits and are known for their production of both red (Pinot Noir) and white (Chardonnay) wines. The vineyards are located on gentle slopes with a variety of soils, including slightly calcareous brown soils, gravelly scree and deeper alluvial layers, which contribute to the complexity and diversity of the wines.
Vinification and maturation of the 2022 Côte de Nuits-Villages Grandes Vignes
The 2022 Domaine Evenstad Côte de Nuits-Villages Grandes Vignes is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, hand-harvested in September 2022. After careful fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, some of which were new. This approach ensures a harmonious integration of wood influences while preserving the expression of the fruit and the terroir. The wine was bottled in the spring of 2024.
Color, aroma and flavor profile of the wine
The wine presents itself with a bright ruby red color. In the nose, aromas of red berries, cherries and floral notes such as violets emerge, complemented by subtle hints of herbs and mineral accents. On the palate, the wine is elegant and refined, with silky tannins and a lively acidity that ensures a fresh and balanced finish. This Côte de Nuits-Villages Grandes Vignes is already accessible, but will develop further with a few years of bottle aging.

Wijnhuis
Het wijnhuis Evenstad Estates, opgericht in 1989 door Ken en Grace Evenstad in Oregon, heeft zich ontwikkeld tot een invloedrijke speler in zowel de Amerikaanse als de Franse wijnwereld. Hun passie voor Pinot Noir en Chardonnay leidde tot de oprichting van Domaine Serene in de Dundee Hills van Oregon, waar ze wijnen van wereldklasse produceren. De wijn van Evenstad in Oregon zijn bekend onder het label Domaine Serene en is de Most Awarded USA winery in de wereld.
In 2015 breidde Evenstad Estates hun horizon uit naar Frankrijk met de aankoop van Château de la Crée in Santenay, gelegen in de Côte de Beaune. Dit historische domein, daterend uit 1431, bood toegang tot prestigieuze wijngaarden in appellaties zoals Pommard, Volnay en Meursault. Deze stap maakte hen tot de eerste wijnproducenten uit Oregon die land bezaten en wijn produceerden in Bourgogne.
De expansie zette zich voort in 2021 met de overname van Domaine Christian Confuron et Fils in de Côte de Nuits. Deze acquisitie voegde ongeveer 6 hectare toe aan hun bezit, inclusief Grand Cru-percelen in Bonnes Mares en Clos de Vougeot, evenals Premier Cru-wijngaarden in Chambolle-Musigny en Nuits-Saint-Georges. Het domein, nu bekend als Domaine Evenstad, bestaat voornamelijk uit Pinot Noir-stokken, waarvan sommige dateren uit de jaren 1920, en wordt duurzaam beheerd.
De overname van Domaine Christian Confuron et Fils versterkt de aanwezigheid van Evenstad Estates in Bourgogne aanzienlijk, waardoor hun totale wijngaardbezit in de regio met ongeveer 60% toenam. Deze strategische uitbreiding onderstreept hun toewijding aan het produceren van hoogwaardige wijnen en het respecteren van de rijke wijnbouwtradities van Bourgogne.
Er zijn 2 labels in de markt namelijk die onder Maison Evenstad en Domaine Evenstad
Domaine Evenstad: Wijn van eigen wijngaarden (eigendom).
Locatie: Côte de Nuits.
Achtergrond: Ontstaan uit de overname van Domaine Christian Confuron et Fils in 2021. Wijnen gemaakt van druiven afkomstig van prestigieuze eigen percelen in onder meer Bonnes Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny en Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru.
Maison Evenstad: Négociant-activiteiten – wijn gemaakt van aangekochte druiven of most.
Locatie: Gebaseerd in Santenay, in de Côte de Beaune. Opgericht naast Château de la Crée (eigendom sinds 2015).
Achtergrond: In beiden gevallen is de stijl zeer kwaliteitsgericht en werkt Maison Evenstad alleen maar met druiven afkomstig van langlopende samenwerkingen met gerenommeerde growers uit appellaties waar ze geen eigen wijngaarden bezitten, zoals Meursault of Puligny-Montrachet om zo het portfolio uit te breiden met beperkte terroirs.
