Echezeaux Grand Cru Louis Jadot (Domaine) 2017

The wine

This Echezeaux grand cru is characterised by a chalky soil and ideal exposure to the south-east. To make it, the domain vinified destemmed grapes in open vats for 3-4 weeks. The wine was then raised in oak barrels for 18 months. Made to be aged for 10, even 15 years, its aromas of red fruits and gentle spices are particularly alluring. These notes promise beautiful pairings with grilled meat dishes.

About the Producer Louis Jadot (domaine)

The Jadot house, in Beaune, is one of the most prestigious in Burgundy; it produces nearly all the Burgundy appellations. Now owned by a wealthy American family, the wines are produced under the management of Frédéric Barnier who ensures great regularity for the bottles. This is indeed why the Jadot house stands out in Burgundy: over 225 hectares and 130 appellations (Côte d'Or, but also Mâcon and Beaujolais), the vast price range will satisfy everybody’s tastes. The legendary head of Bacchus is always on the label. The domain uses traditional wine-making methods: a long fermentation and maturing. Chemical herbicides are prohibited and yields are strictly limited.
