Tasting notes
Vincent Girardin's 2001 Echezeaux is crafted from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the same vineyard as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Echezeaux in Burgundy. This cuvée is known for its delicate yet powerful character, making it perfect for those special moments.
In Volume 9 of 'Drops of God', this wine is featured as the first red wine that captivated Kido's heart. It's praised for its alluring aroma of fresh strawberries and cherries, mingling with various floral scents that enchant the drinker.
When you tilt the glass, you'll see an orange-tinged rim from its aging process. The aroma is open, with hints of tea and dried herbs, giving it a warm feel. On the palate, it reveals soft fruit flavors typical of Pinot Noir, with velvety tannins that pleasantly coat the tongue. The acidity is lively, giving the wine a refreshing lift.
The finish is long, and the complexity unfolds with each sip, offering new discoveries. This wine's depth makes it a great choice for a special dinner or a quiet evening. Enjoying it slightly warmer will enhance its aromas further.
