Burgundy royalty in the glass đŸ‘‘đŸ·

The ÉchĂ©zeaux Grand Cru is one of Burgundy’s most celebrated appellations, and in 2022 Domaine GĂ©rard Julien & Fils has delivered a wine that shows both the power and finesse of this legendary site.

Sourced from old vines in Flagey-ÉchĂ©zeaux, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir is built for depth and longevity. The 2022 vintage layers dark cherry and wild strawberry with spice and florals, framed by fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a finish of remarkable length. Silky yet structured, it’s Burgundy at its most captivating.

Domaine GĂ©rard Julien & Fils remains a true family estate, with GĂ©rard’s son now shaping the wines and earning a growing reputation among Burgundy collectors. His focus on purity and terroir expression shines through here—making this ÉchĂ©zeaux both elegant and unmistakable.

A wine for the cellar and the ages—serious Burgundy drinkers will want to secure this while they can.

What the experts say about this wine

A moderately toasty and fresh nose reflects more deeply pitched liqueur-like aromas of plum, dark cherry, spice and a wisp of mocha. There is both better volume and mid-palate density to the vibrant medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mouthfeel that carries over to the superbly long, moderately austere and impeccably well-balanced finale. Good stuff that is at once refined and powerful.

Half new wood and 40% whole bunch. Bright ruby purple. Little bouquet as yet, and the samples are cold. At the moment the density of the wine shows more than the subtlety, though I think that the detail is certainly there. More in red fruit than black. This may just be at too early a stage and there could be further upside to the Echezeaux. Drink from 2032-2038.
