Description
Origin and history of Maison Evenstad
Maison Evenstad is the Burgundian chapter of the Evenstad family, known for the renowned Domaine Serene in Oregon, USA. Their passion for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay led them to the Côte d'Or, where they acquired Domaine Christian Confuron and transformed it into Maison Evenstad. From the historic heart of Burgundy, they produce refined wines with deep roots in the local terroirs. The vineyards are located in iconic villages such as Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey. Here, the grapes benefit from a continental climate with warm summers and cool nights, ideal for preserving freshness and aromas.
The Aux Argillières vineyard and its unique terroir
The climat Aux Argillières lies at the foot of the Côte de Premeaux-Prissey. The south-facing slope of over 5% guarantees excellent ripening. The soil consists primarily of white marl and limestone, which gives the wine its mineral expression. The Chardonnay vines are deeply rooted here and are optimally nourished by the calcareous soil.
Grapes, harvest and vinification of this Bourgogne Blanc
This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay. The grapes for this cuvée were harvested on September 4, 2022. Thanks to the warm growing season, early flowering, and favorable rainfall in late June, the bunches were able to ripen perfectly. After hand-harvesting, the wine was aged for 14 months in oak barrels, 20% of which were new. This gives the wine structure and subtle oak notes without overpowering its fresh character. The wine was bottled on April 10, 2024.
Tasting profile of the Bourgogne-Blanc Aux Argillières
This wine presents itself in the glass as a clear, light gold. Citrus aromas dominate the nose, complemented by floral notes and a salty undertone. On the palate, the wine is taut and lively with a fresh acidity. The finish is long and mineral, with hints of iodine typical of the vineyard's chalky soil. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and the wine was bottled as a "Régionale" classification, with a production run of 1,744 cases.

Wine and food pairings with this Bourgogne Chardonnay
- Grilled sea bass with lemon butter: the saltiness and citrus notes complement the wine's fresh acidity perfectly.
- Risotto with green asparagus and Parmesan: creaminess and vegetable notes complement the mineral freshness of the wine perfectly.
- Chicken Supreme with tarragon and cream sauce: the creamy character of the sauce is balanced by the tension in the wine.
- Tagliatelle with fennel and lemon: the fresh aniseed note and citrus elements enhance the wine's aroma.
- Scallops with cauliflower cream and hazelnut: texture and umami are enhanced by the complexity of the wood aging.
- Baked lobster with beurre blanc and dill: the luxurious lobster and creamy sauce resonate beautifully with the subtle oak notes of 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.
