Transcendent Burgundy that whispers secrets of terroir through crystalline precision.

The 2018 Échézeaux reveals itself slowly, opening with wild strawberry compote and crushed violets before deeper notes of sandalwood and wet limestone emerge. On the palate, this wine demonstrates remarkable architecture—silky tannins frame bright acidity while layers of red fruit meld with forest mushroom and a distinctive mineral backbone. The finish extends endlessly, leaving traces of cardamom and rose water that linger for minutes. This vintage shows the perfect marriage of power and elegance, with enough structure to evolve beautifully over the next two decades while remaining hauntingly beautiful now.
