Indulge in the exceptional craftsmanship of Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg’s 2020 Echezeaux Grand Cru, a Pinot Noir that embodies the essence of Burgundy’s famed terroir. This wine opens with an intoxicating nose of black plums, dark berries, and black tea, layered with earthy soil tones, espresso, woodsmoke, and a hint of balsam. The palate is pure and full-bodied, with a vibrant core of sappy fruit, seamless tannins, and bright acidity that drives a long, complex finish.

Crafted from grapes grown in Les Quartier de Nuits and Rouges du Bas, this wine undergoes destemming and a cold soak before gentle fermentation and 18 months of aging in cask. The result is a beautifully expressive profile of raspberry and cassis, complemented by floral notes and subtle hints of spice, smoke, and leather. Its texture is dense yet refined, lingering enticingly on the finish.

Perfect for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring, this Echezeaux Grand Cru offers a harmonious balance of fruit intensity and structural elegance. With 25% whole bunch fermentation and maturation in 60% new oak with light toasting, it showcases brambly red fruit and wild hedgerow aromas that evolve beautifully with aeration.
