Tasting notes
The Echezeaux V.V. from Mongeard-Mugneret is a revelation of Burgundy's allure. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, the 2009 vintage offers a delightful sense of time's passage with its matured elegance. Echezeaux is renowned as a grand cru vineyard, and this wine beautifully embodies its essence.
In Volume 33 of 'Drops of God', there's a scene where Claire lets Shizuku taste this wine blind. The depiction there is memorable — grapes that have lived over 80 years brought to life in a wine that paints a scene with 24 colors, then expresses it with 36.
In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet hue with a hint of brick on the rim. The aroma is rich, showcasing the signature aged Pinot Noir notes of violets, black tea, and an earthy mushroom scent that's utterly captivating. On the palate, it starts off soft, with lively acidity and silky tannins. The fruit sweetness is subtle, but as you savor it, the layers of complexity begin to unfold.
The finish is long and elegant, allowing you to fully appreciate the charm of Burgundy Pinot Noir. A medium-sized glass at around 16°C would be perfect to enjoy this one. Open it up and let yourself be drawn into its graceful depth.
