Echezeaux NV

Opening a bottle of Henri Jayer's Echezeaux, it's like stepping into a special moment. He's a legendary figure in Burgundy, and this wine, made from Pinot Noir, transforms into something magical under his hands. Echezeaux itself is a Grand Cru, placing it in a unique spot among Burgundy wines, making it a bottle worth opening.

In the 16th volume of 'Drops of God', this wine appears as an unlabeled old wine, revered as if it were a divine wine. It was a scene filled with anticipation and a sense of special nuance. You could feel the excitement of what this wine might taste like.

When you pour it into a glass, you'll see a deep ruby color, with long legs hinting at its depth of age. The first whiff gives you a burst of black cherry sweetness and ripe raspberry, but there's an underlying spice essence that adds complexity—like layers of aromas unfolding.

Taking a sip, you notice that silky smooth texture, with firm tannins bringing it all together. The acidity is lively, keeping a balance with the rich fruitiness. And the finish—oh, it lingers long, refusing to let you go. This wine is like a journey that stays with you well after the last sip.
