Tasting notes

The 2007 Grands-Echezeaux by Robert Sirugue is a pure Pinot Noir from the celebrated vineyards of Burgundy. Known for producing complex and delicate wines, Grands-Echezeaux stands out even among Burgundy's best. With its rich expression, this vintage crafted by Sirugue truly lives up to its esteemed reputation.

In Volume 34 of 'Drops of God', it's chosen by Issei as a candidate for the Tenth Apostle. The wine is described as embodying the cycle of rebirth, capturing the essence of life and the ethereal edge of existence. Issei's choice reflects the profound taste experience it offers, anchoring the theme of hope and renewal.

Visually, it presents a garnet hue with brick-like edges, and the legs are notable when you swirl the glass. The nose reveals mature aromas of tea and forest floor, delicately intertwined with whispers of raspberry and violet. On the palate, the wine opens with a plush fruit sweetness, accompanied by silky acidity and velvety tannins. The finish is long, elegant, and complex, lingering beautifully.

For enjoying this wine, aim for around 16°C, without decanting, using a medium-sized glass to savor its depth slowly.
