2017 | Emmanuel Rouget | Echezeaux

The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru, matured in 100% new oak, has a very perfumed and floral bouquet of shimmering black cherry and cassis fruit infused with iris and peony. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, beautifully pitched acidity and a silky-smooth, precise finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Richer and more expansive than the Beaux Monts, the 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru displays aromas of sweet wild berries, licorice, smoked meats, burning embers and candied peel. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and textural with good depth and dimension at the core, concluding with a long, gourmand finish. While this Echézeaux is generous, it isn't open-knit, and it should offer a broad drinking window.

• Burghound: An admirably pure, elegant and airy nose reflects notes of essence of red currant, rose petal and discreet spice nuances that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The round and transparent medium weight plus flavors possess fine precision on the balanced and markedly firm finish that displays excellent length. This is more muscular than it usually is; indeed the word robust comes to mind, yet it remains elegant and refined. Lovely stuff.

Producer Information

Often mentioned in the same breath as his famed uncle (the late Henri Jayer) Emmanuel Rouget is a well-regarded Burgundy producer in his own right. Having taken over the farming of the Jayer brothers' (Henri, Lucien and Georges) holdings, Rouget produces sought-after Pinot Noirs from sought-after vineyards from his base in Flagey-Echézeaux.Emmanuel Rouget first began selling wines under his own name when working as sharecropper of vineyards owned by different members of his family. In 1996 Jayer passed the vineyards to Rouget but continued to bottle some wines under his own name until his full retirement in 2001 – subsequent vintages carry Rouget's name and command ultra-premium prices, though not as high as his uncle's.
