Tasting notes
The Echezeaux 2009 from Mongeard-Mugneret is one of those iconic Pinot Noirs from Burgundy, you know. The Mongeard family has been crafting remarkable wines here for generations, and this particular Echezeaux really captures the elegance and power of Pinot Noir from a Grand Cru vineyard.
In volume 33, Claire gave this wine to Shizuku blind, saying it reminded her of "vast meadows" and the "warm sun." She mentioned how it's like a scale too big to hold with open arms. This captures the essence of this Echezeaux.
Pouring it, you see a garnet hue with a slight brick tint, a nod to its 17 years of aging. The nose is open, with scents of violets and dried herbs emerging. On the palate, the wine offers a rich fruitiness paired with robust acidity, and the tannins are velvety smooth. The finish is long, and the complex flavors keep inviting you back for another sip.
This Echezeaux truly embodies the heart of Burgundy's Pinot Noir, with its matured complexity and elegant, lingering finish. You should try it on a special occasion.
