🏰 The 2022 vintage for Echézeaux Grand Cru is being hailed as absolutely exquisite, representing a significant step up in quality. Despite a growing season marked by severe heat and drought, the wines show no heaviness, instead displaying phenomenal balance. Denis Mortet, a highly respected producer, has crafted an Echézeaux that embodies the seductive personality of this Grand Cru. Robert Parker notes the Pinot Noir harvest concluded in mid-September, yielding fleshy and expressive wines. This red 布根地 bursts with aromas of sweet dark berries and cherries, mingled with notions of incense, orange zest, exotic spices, and peonies. Other descriptions include blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant with floral scents of peony and violet. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, polished, and flamboyant, with impossibly silky tannins and deep, penetrating aromatics. It offers a layered, juicy core of fruit, with notes of mocha and liquorice, culminating in a broad, sapid, airy, and almost saline finish. The wine showcases silky, high-quality tannins and a very real aging potential. 🍴 This magnificent Pinot Noir is perfectly suited for rich and flavorful dishes. Pair it with roasted lamb, a succulent rib-eye steak, or various game dishes. Mature cheeses would also be an excellent accompaniment, as would duck or a mushroom risotto. 🥂 An ideal choice for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion for a discerning Burgundy connoisseur, or a cellar tasting to appreciate its evolving complexity. Its exceptional balance and seductive character make it a standout. 【The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru is an "absolutely exquisite" wine, a significant step up in the range, showcasing phenomenal balance despite challenging vintage conditions】
