Echezeaux 2002

Hey, you should really try this 2002 Echezeaux from Gros Frère et Sœur. It's a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Burgundy, and the 2002 vintage really stands out. After 24 years, you can imagine how it's evolved, right?

In the manga, there's a scene where Robert digs this wine out of the ground, it's in Volume 1. When I saw that, I was like, wow, this wine must mean a lot to him if he's willing to unearth it like that.

Pour it into a glass and that beautiful brick color with an orange tinge reveals itself. It's a clear sign of its age. The aroma is captivating, with deep notes of blueberry and black cherry, complemented by hints of dried herbs and tea. It's complex, and the scent just keeps deepening as you let it breathe.

Take a sip, and you'll be amazed by the silky tannins. It starts with a rich fruitiness and then transitions to a rounded acidity that ties everything together. The finish is long, leaving a warm, pleasant feeling that just lingers. This wine is elegant with a long finish—truly special. Serve it around 14–16°C for the best experience.
