Tasting notes
The Grands Échezeaux is one of the most renowned Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, showcasing the true essence of Pinot Noir. Crafted by Robert Sirugue, this 2002 vintage has aged gracefully over two decades, still brimming with allure. It's a wine that combines elegance and power, offering new discoveries every time you open it.
In the 34th volume of 'Drops of God', this wine is portrayed as the tenth Apostle chosen by Shizuku, representing "hope" and "blessing." It's seen as a symbol of the reincarnation of souls, making those who drink it feel a sense of new beginnings. It's perfect for those special moments.
Pouring it into a glass reveals a deep garnet hue, with the complex aromas characteristic of an aged wine. You'll find notes of raspberry and black cherry, along with hints of violet and dried herbs. The aroma truly allows you to enjoy the timeless charm of Pinot Noir.
On the palate, it offers a rich and rounded fruitiness initially, followed by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that are well-balanced. The finish is long, leaving an impression that is both complex and elegant. Serving it at 14–18°C with a large glass will enhance your experience.
