🏰 The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was marked by spring frosts followed by a relatively warm summer, leading to an earlier than usual harvest with balanced ripeness. For Domaine Dujac, the 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru emphasizes charm and elegance, especially after the challenges of the 2016 frost. Dujac is celebrated for its commitment to whole-cluster fermentation, minimal intervention, and transparent terroir expression, allowing the limestone-rich soils of Echezeaux to shine through. Echezeaux, situated near Clos de Vougeot, is renowned for producing Pinot Noir wines that balance aromatic intensity with depth and finesse. Critics describe the 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru as unfurling with a complex bouquet of sweet red berries, dried flowers, forest floor, orange rind, and wood smoke, gently framed by a touch of new oak. It's medium to full-bodied, satiny, and expansive, with juicy acids, a deep yet open-knit core, and a long, sapid finish. Other notes include red cherries, orange rind, sweet soil tones, spices, and peonies. The palate is silky yet structured, with finely woven tannins, offering a beautiful balance between power and finesse, underpinned by svelte acidity and layers of berry fruit and earthy minerals. It's a charming, supple wine that offers a broad drinking window and promises longevity. 【Elegant, terroir-driven Grand Cru showcasing charm and finesse】. 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy is a superb match for refined dishes.
