The 2021 Echézeaux Grand Cru opens in the glass with notions of dark berries, vine smoke, baking chocolate and grilled meats, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and lively palate that's suave and elegant. Sadly, only one barrel was produced.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: Between 17C to 18C
AGEING POTENTIAL: 10 years and more
MATURING: 12 to 14 months in French oak, with 45 to 60% new oak.
