Description
2022 Domaine Evenstad Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru Les Vaucrains
Elegant Pinot Noir from a leading Premier Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits.
The story behind Domaine Evenstad and the Burgundy region
Domaine Evenstad is the French branch of the famous Evenstad family, which made its name with Domaine Serene in Oregon, United States. In 2015, the family moved to Burgundy with the acquisition of Maison Evenstad, now renamed Domaine Evenstad. The domain focuses exclusively on top terroirs in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, with the aim of making wines that combine elegance, power and complexity. The Burgundy region is known for its chalky soils and cool continental climate, perfect for the production of refined Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Origin of the wine: Les Vaucrains Premier Cru
The climat Les Vaucrains is located in the southern part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, just above the famous Saint-Georges vineyard. At 270 metres altitude, with an eastern orientation and a red clay subsoil, this plot produces wines with great structure, intensity and great ageing potential. The vineyard is only 0.26 hectares in size and the vines are on average 23 years old. Production is limited to 555 cases.
Grapes, harvest and vinification of this Premier Cru
The wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir. The harvest took place on September 5 and 6, 2022. After a mild and dry winter, the growing season started early, with early flowering and optimal fruit set. The summer was hot and dry, but was mitigated by rainfall in August, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly. Fermentation and maturation took place in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new, for 12 months. The wine was bottled on March 1, 2024.
Color, aroma and taste of the 2022 Les Vaucrains
This wine is complex, powerful and refined. In the glass it shows a deep ruby red colour. The aroma is intense with notes of ripe cherries, raspberries, violets and subtle spiciness. In the mouth the wine offers a full structure, fine but firm tannins and a juicy core. The finish is long and concentrated with a lot of depth and elegance. Thanks to its structure and aromatic complexity this wine is eminently suitable for aging, but also very enjoyable now after carafe.

Wine and food pairings with Domaine Evenstad Nuits Saint Georges Les Vaucrains
- Roast Quail with Mushroom Risotto: The earthy notes of the risotto enhance the depth of the Pinot Noir, while the poultry complements its elegant character.

- Roasted beetroot with goat cheese and walnuts: Vegetarian alternative that plays on the earthy and fruity layers in the wine.

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.
