2023 Dominique Laurent , Echezeaux VV Grand Cru

The 2023 Laurent Echezeaux VV Grand Cru is a striking expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated sites, shaped by Laurent’s bold and uncompromising style. Made from old-vine Pinot Noir, it combines depth, intensity, and Grand Cru pedigree in a wine that immediately signals rarity and prestige.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine is expected to show the deep, polished color typical of concentrated Pinot Noir from a top Burgundy site. The nose opens with black cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with exotic spice, dried herbs, and the earthy complexity of forest floor, truffle, and subtle oak nuances. The palate is powerful and structured, with concentrated dark fruit at the core, firm tannins, and a sense of width and gravity that carries through to a long, resonant finish. While already impressive for its richness and complexity, this is a wine built for patience and will likely reward cellaring over many years as it gains further finesse and tertiary depth.

Production
Sourced from old vines in Echezeaux, a Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy known for producing wines of breadth, perfume, and serious aging potential, this cuvée reflects the character of a prestigious limestone-and-clay terroir. The fruit is harvested with a focus on preserving concentration and site expression, then vinified to emphasize structure, depth, and the layered complexity that defines Laurent’s style.

Food & Serving
Best served with refined dishes that can match its intensity, such as roasted duck, game bird, beef filet, venison, or mushroom-based dishes with truffle accents. Serve at 16-18°C, and decanting for 1-2 hours is recommended if opening young, though very careful handling is advised to preserve its aromatic precision.

Producer
Laurent is known for crafting wines with a bold, modern interpretation of Burgundy, often emphasizing concentration, structure, and expressive fruit. In a region where terroir is paramount, the producer’s Grand Cru bottlings stand out for their intensity and ambition, reinforcing Laurent’s reputation among collectors seeking powerful, age-worthy wines.
