Prieur Echézeaux gc. 2023 0,75l

This Echezeaux Grand Cru from Prieur is a benchmark expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. Vines rooted in chalky, well-drained soils give a refined balance of power and finesse. The bouquet opens with aromas of wild berries, blackcurrant and blackberry, wrapped in hints of licorice, cocoa and black pepper. On the palate the wine is dense yet silky, with ripe, fine-grained tannins and precise structure. Lively acidity keeps everything fresh and vibrant. The long finish echoes dark fruit, spice and a touch of minerality. This Grand Cru is a superb partner for braised beef, lamb or delicate game birds.

Nineteen months entirely in oak barrels give the wine maturity, structure and elegance.
