Joseph Drouhin Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru 2017
Selected with intention
The 2017 Joseph Drouhin Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru is a magnificent Pinot Noir, representing the pinnacle of Burgundian terroir and Drouhin's refined winemaking. Grands-Échezeaux, nestled between Clos de Vougeot and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, yields wines of exceptional grace, power, and aromatic complexity. The 2017 vintage offers a beautiful balance of richness and finesse. The nose is profoundly aromatic, a captivating blend of wild berries, black cherry, dried rose petals, and a distinct earthy minerality, interwoven with notes of spice and subtle undergrowth. On the palate, it is incredibly elegant and seamless, with fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries the concentrated fruit through an exceptionally long, ethereal finish. A Grand Cru destined for decades of graceful evolution.
