FEATURES
🏰 The 2017 Domaine d'Eugenie Echezeaux Grand Cru represents a compelling expression of this expansive Grand Cru vineyard, showcasing depth and complexity. The vintage delivered supple, expressive, and seductive wines. Sourced from the estate's parcel in the lieu-dit En Orveaux, this red Burgundy reveals aromas of ripe cherries, cassis, and black truffle, layered with rich soil tones and subtle toasty oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample, and fleshy, with ripe acids and chewy back-end tannins, leading to a good length with persistent dark fruit, earth, and spice notes. Expect essence of plum, dark currant, violet, lilac, and sandalwood, with a powerful and muscular yet refined mouthfeel. 【 Sourced from the estate's parcel in the lieu-dit En Orveaux, offering greater body and structure with ripe fruit character and supple tannins 】.
🍴 This structured Grand Cru pairs exceptionally well with braised beef short ribs with red wine reduction, roasted venison with juniper berry sauce and root vegetables, or wild boar ragu over pappardelle. Grilled ribeye steak with truffle butter, aged Comté, or mature Époisses cheese are also excellent choices. It's also a classic match for duck, goose, and other game birds.
🥂 Ideal for a significant celebratory dinner, a special occasion with gourmet cuisine, or a serious Burgundy tasting. Its structure and fruit concentration suggest it will benefit from additional cellaring, with optimal drinking expected around 2025-2030.
Serving Advice: Serve at 16-18°C in large Burgundy stems. Decanting for 45-60 minutes is highly recommended to soften the tannins and allow the wine to express its full aromatic range.
