Joseph Drouhin Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru 2017 75cl

From Joseph Drouhin, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru 2017 is a red Burgundy of notable poise and length. This 75cl bottle opens with a finely detailed aromatic profile, showing cherry, dark chocolate and cocoa bean in its youth.

With maturity, the character develops towards undergrowth, truffle, fine leather, with occasional notes of cigar and cedar wood. Refined tannins and a silky, velvety body bring elegance through to a very long finish, where the wine’s key aromas return with clarity.
