Joseph Drouhin Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru 2021 is a benchmark Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Situated between the famed Échezeaux and Clos de Vougeot, this historic site produces wines of exceptional finesse, depth, and ageing potential.

Crafted using organic and biodynamic principles, the wine is made from hand-harvested Pinot Noir, fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 16–20 months in French oak barrels. This careful approach ensures purity of fruit and a true expression of terroir.

On the nose, the 2021 vintage reveals refined aromas of cherry and dark chocolate, which evolve with aeration into complex notes of truffle, forest floor, fine leather, and cedar. On the palate, it is both powerful and elegant, with silky, velvety tannins and a beautifully balanced structure.

The finish is exceptionally long and layered, showcasing the wine’s depth and sophistication. While approachable with decanting, this Grand Cru is built for long-term cellaring, where it will develop even greater complexity over time.
