From the first glance, this Échézeaux Grand Cru 2021 captivates with its deep, brilliant ruby color and garnet highlights. The nose, remarkably complex, reveals an elegant and precise aromatic palette. The initial aromas offer a floral bouquet marked by wilted rose and violet, followed by notes of fresh red fruits such as raspberry, morello cherry, and wild strawberry. In the background, deeper nuances of undergrowth, white pepper, and a slight touch of licorice add an extra dimension to this captivating nose.
On the palate, the attack is lively and silky, supported by a fine and vibrant acidity, the signature of a fresh and balanced vintage. The velvety tannins envelop the palate with a finesse and precision worthy of the great Burgundy wines. The aromas perceived on the nose linger on the palate, enriched by a slight touch of blackberry and a discreet but persistent minerality that gives an almost salty sensation on the finish.
The aging is perfectly controlled, offering a subtle integration of wood without ever masking the expression of the terroir. The finish, with its impressive length, leaves a refined impression, combining freshness, elegance, and a depth that promises great aging potential.
