Domaine Jacques Prieur, Echezeaux 2022

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Echezeaux 2022 is a rare Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated vineyards. Crafted from Pinot Noir, it combines the finesse and aromatic complexity associated with Vosne-Romanée with the depth and structure expected from a distinguished Grand Cru wine. Echezeaux has been recognised for centuries as one of Burgundy’s exceptional sites, and the 2022 vintage offers particularly generous fruit alongside excellent balance.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour with vivid garnet highlights. Its nose is expressive and layered, opening with aromas of ripe red and dark berries, violet, rose petal and subtle spice, with earthy and gently savoury nuances emerging as it develops in the glass. On the palate, the 2022 Echezeaux is elegant yet concentrated, combining silky tannins with bright acidity and a long, refined finish. Notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, delicate oak spice and mineral earthiness unfold gradually. It can be enjoyed after decanting in its youth, but its structure and Grand Cru pedigree suggest excellent ageing potential over the next 10–20 years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
Echezeaux lies in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, where limestone-rich soils and carefully positioned vineyard sites create wines known for perfume, finesse and depth. The wine is produced from Pinot Noir and made according to the traditional Burgundian approach, with careful selection of grapes and élevage in oak to support, rather than overshadow, the character of the fruit and vineyard. Exact parcel selection, harvesting methods and élevage details for this bottle are not specified.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 15–17°C in a Burgundy glass to highlight its aromatic detail. Decanting for 30–60 minutes can help the wine open, particularly when enjoyed in its youth. Its refined structure pairs beautifully with roast duck, pigeon, roast chicken with jus, veal, beef fillet, mushroom dishes and mature soft cheeses. For maximum complexity, serve alongside dishes with earthy, gently seasoned flavours rather than very spicy or heavily sauced foods.
