Domaine Jacques Prieur, Echezeaux Grand Cru 2021

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Echezeaux Grand Cru 2021 is a distinguished Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most renowned Grand Cru vineyards. Combining the delicacy and perfume of Echezeaux with the domaine’s precise, terroir-focused style, it is a wine built for both immediate appreciation and graceful evolution in bottle.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a bright ruby-red colour, with the depth and concentration typical of a Grand Cru Pinot Noir. Its aromatic profile combines red berries, wild strawberry and raspberry with floral nuances, subtle spice and an earthy, savoury character that becomes more expressive with air. On the palate, it offers refined tannins, fresh acidity and layered flavours of red fruit, minerals and gentle oak, finishing with impressive length and balance. The 2021 vintage is marked by freshness and elegance, making this an especially graceful expression of Echezeaux rather than one driven solely by power. It can be enjoyed with careful decanting in its youth, while further complexity is likely to develop over the next decade or more under suitable cellaring conditions.

Production
Echezeaux Grand Cru lies in the Côte de Nuits near Flagey-Échezeaux, where limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate provide Pinot Noir with both fragrance and structure. Domaine Jacques Prieur’s wine is made from Pinot Noir with an emphasis on expressing the individual character of the vineyard. Specific harvest and vinification details for this release are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C with roast duck, game birds, beef fillet, lamb or veal. Its freshness and savoury complexity also make it a natural match for mushroom dishes, truffle preparations and mature soft cheeses. A gentle decant of around 30–60 minutes can help reveal the wine’s aromatic layers, although older bottles should be handled carefully.
