Domaine
Heresztyn
Burgundy
The Estate
Founded in 1959, this 11
hectares (27.17
acres) domaine, located in and around
Gevrey-Chambertin, is now run
by Stanislas, Bernard, Eva and Chantal Heresztyn,
brothers and sister in laws. The
estate has been a
consistently fine producer in the area.
"Real improvement from this grower in
Gevrey-Chambertin: wines that were once coarse and
rustic are increasingly refined and poised; worth
keeping an eye on."
