Echézeaux AOC Grand Cru Famille Gagey 2018 Louis Jadot

Echézeaux Grand Cru Famille Gagey from Louis Jadot is a prestigious red wine, produced exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the renowned Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. This cru is located near Vosne-Romanée, in a limestone terroir. The East-South/East position gives the grapes an ideal exposure, favoring optimal ripening.

The winemaking process is a meticulous one that begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes in small crates, in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. After careful selection and destemming, maceration takes place in open wooden or stainless steel tanks for a period of three to four weeks, with daily pumping over. The aging lasts about 18 months in oak barrels, giving the wine further depth and complexity.

In the glass it reveals a deep ruby red color, with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, delicate spices and subtle earthy hints. On the palate it is full-bodied and well-structured, with silky tannins and a long and persistent finish that evolves with elegance. Its aromatic complexity is enriched with time, developing notes of undergrowth and spices.

Ideal to accompany rich dishes such as game, roast beef or lamb and mature cheeses.
