A rare enough feature to be highlighted, the Domaine Evenstad cultivates vineyards which stretch over the famous Côte de Nuits and vinifies the grapes in Santenay, at the heart of the equally prestigious Côte de Beaune.
From Chambolle-Musigny to Nuits-Saint-Georges, including the Clos de Vougeot, an emblematic Grand Cru of the Burgundy wine growing region, the Domaine offers a wide range of exceptional wines.
It is thus a must for those who wish to discover or deepen their knowledge of Burgundy wines.
Make no mistake : although the Domaine is proud of its centennial stones, the welcome is warm. A renovation, completed three years ago, allowed for the modernization of the infrastructures while preserving the place’s soul and authenticity. The result : a sublime venue, ageing cellars where you will want to linger, and a winery that is both traditional and modern.
Here, no insider lingo. Whether you are a neophyte or a connoisseur, our wine experts share our terroir, our know-how, our stories and will guide you through the intimidating but fascinating world of the Great Wines of Burgundy.
Visit an exceptional Burgundian winery : push the doors of the Domaine Evenstad
Located on the ‘Route des Grands Crus’, the Domaine Evenstad follows the purest Burgundian tradition. Its vines are present on specific Côte de Nuits terroirs, shaped by the region’s exceptional geology and the know-how of generations of winemakers. The Domaine’s story can be understood, in Santenay, within its XIXth century cellars, where wines develop slowly but steadily.
Enough to inspire the desire to discover the experiences offered by the Domaine Evenstad.
