This Echezeaux Grand Cru comes from a small parcel of vines planted in the 1930s on limestone and marl, farmed sustainably. The 2018 vintage, though hot and challenging, yielded magnificent grapes, with the team successfully balancing sugar, acidity, and phenolic maturity. The wine is made with partial whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, and modest new oak, aged in concrete then barrels. It presents a layered and silky profile with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, forest floor, sweet spice, rose petal florals, and sandalwood. The palate reveals excellent depth and balance, with fine tannins, grand cru depth, and a powerful, stony, yet elegant finish, hinting at plums, dark red cherries, and crushed rocks. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This exquisite 布根地 pairs perfectly with roast duck, venison, truffled mushrooms, or aged Burgundian cheeses.
