2007 | Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils | Echezeaux Les Treux

Smoky, slightly meaty - definitely smoked bacon - and a little bit roasted but also perfumed. Aromatic mid palate, intense dark fruit flavours and tight but fine-grained tannis. Long with attractive bite on the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Tardy’s 2007 Echezeaux Les Treux Vieilles Vignes comes from vines especially susceptible to millerandage, and displays the greatest purity and transparency of bright black fruits in the current collection, allied to a rarified, sirloin juice-like expression of meatiness. Black pepper, cumin, and lemon zest add complexity to the nose and invigorating pungency to the wine’s finish.

• Allen Meadows: A highly spicy, even sexy nose of blue and black Pinot fruit aromas introduces with a flourish rich, full and generous tautly muscled flavors blessed with plenty of dry extract on the highly complex and notably concentrated finish that is dusty and impressively long while staining the palate. This is a relatively big Ech in the context of the vintage as there is fine mid-palate concentration.

Producer Information

Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils is a producer based in the commune of Flagey-Echézeaux in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits region. The domaine's small parcel of 80-year-old vines in the grand cru climat of Les Treux in Echézeaux produces its finest Pinot Noir and, since 2010, the company has also added an Aux Argillas wine to its portfolio of mainly village- and regional-level Pinot Noirs. The origins of the domaine date back to 1945, when Victor Tardy established a métayage agreement with Domaine Méo-Camuzet, which included the appellations of Clos de Vougeot, Vosnes-Romanée Premier Cru Les Chaumes and Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Boudots. Jean Tardy took over from his father in 1970 and expanded the family domaine with the purchase and rental of plots of land in areas including Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Bourgogne Rouge. In 2003, Guillaume Tardy assumed control and acquired climats in Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin and Bourgogne Hautes Côte de Nuits. The domaine's métayage arrangement with Domaine Méo-Camuzet came to a close in 2007 and with it the production of its Clos de Vougeot, Les Chaumes and Les Boudots wines. In the winery, the winemaking process is kept simple with long fermentation times. Barrel-aging occurs for approximately 18 months, the portion of new oak employed depending on the wine with 70 percent sourced for the grand cru. All bottling is done at the domaine.
