Georges Jayer Echezeaux Grand Cru – Echezeaux Grand Cru – Red – 2021:

 

The JAYER GEORGES ECHEZEAUX RED is a revered piece of Burgundy’s heritage. This Grand Cru, sourced from the historic Georges Jayer vineyards, is now meticulously vinified by Emmanuel Rouget, continuing the legendary Jayer style. It stands as a benchmark for the purity and ethereal complexity of Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Review)

The wine presents a luminous ruby hue. The bouquet is profound and intricate, showing intense notes of small red fruits, dried rose petals, sweet spice, and a hint of forest floor, which develops into classic truffle and game nuances over time. The palate offers extraordinary finesse, with silken, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant freshness that ensures a long, mineral-laden finish. It possesses the signature ‘Jayer’ silkiness.
