Description
What kind of wine it is
Echezeaux Grand Cru is a prestigious red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers notes of red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, fine spices and undergrowth, enriched by a pronounced mineral streak. The palate is silky and powerful, characterised by precise tannins and vibrant acidity, with a savoury and layered finish. After decanting for an hour at 14-16 °C, it pairs beautifully with duck, veal, pork, truffle dishes and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The wine is produced in France, in the heart of Burgundy, within the renowned Echezeaux Grand Cru area. Made by Claire Naudin, a winery active since 1850, this red follows strict principles of agricultural sustainability. The estate carefully monitors its carbon footprint and rejects any form of production standardisation. This sensitive approach in the vineyard promotes extraordinary longevity, allowing the wine to evolve in the bottle for over twenty-five years.
How it is produced
The cellar techniques involve low-impact processes to preserve the purity of the grape variety. The key stage is the ageing on the lees, which lasts fifteen months. This prolonged rest enhances the structure, managing to smooth and refine the tannins without compromising the fruit's freshness. The integration of these elements gives greater definition and volume on the palate. The final sip is thus deep and layered, faithfully reflecting the expressiveness of its terroir.
History and Curiosities
Founded in Burgundy in 1850, Domaine Henri Naudin-Ferrand now covers an area of 22 hectares. Under the guidance of Claire Naudin since 1994, the estate promotes sustainable viticulture and traditional methods, rejecting any form of production standardisation. The exclusive Echezeaux Grand Cru 2023 perfectly embodies this artisanal philosophy: a pure Pinot Noir aged for 15 months. The commitment to the environment, also demonstrated by monitoring the carbon footprint, ensures a Pinot Noir that is long-lived and of extraordinary elegance.
