🏰 Domaine des Perdrix's 2022 Echezeaux Grand Cru is a stunning expression from a renowned Côte de Nuits estate, praised for its exquisite balance, silky tannins, and deep, penetrating aromatics, making it a compelling Grand Cru for the cellar. This wine displays an intense ruby red color, with a harmonious bouquet of red fruit and spices, enhanced by subtle woody notes. The palate is rich and complex, with structured tannins and a long finish. Expect dark cherry, blackberry, and black currant flavors, opulent yet dense, saturated with fruit, picking up mint, mineral, and spice notes, resulting in a fresh and harmonious profile. The nose is generous, showing fresh red berries such as strawberries and raspberries, with fresh notes of peppermint and eucalyptus, leading to an elegant palate with very smooth and integrated tannins and a balanced interplay between acidity and roundness. The 2022 Echezeaux Grand Cru is described as "absolutely exquisite," with impossibly silky tannins and phenomenal balance, showing no heaviness despite a growing season marked by severe heat and drought. 🍴 This outstanding Grand Cru pairs perfectly with duck breast with cherries, filet mignon and mushrooms en croûte, roasted lamb, rib-eye steak, game, or mature cheeses. 🥂 An outstanding choice for grand celebrations, a luxurious fine dining experience, or as a prized addition to any serious Burgundy collector's cellar.
