Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru 2017 - domaine Robert Sirugue

Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru 2017 — Domaine Robert Sirugue

The Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru 2017 from Domaine Robert Sirugue is a rare Côte de Nuits bottle from one of Burgundy’s noblest Grand Cru climats. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir combines the depth of Grands-Échezeaux, the finesse of the Sirugue style and the graceful charm of the 2017 vintage.

Produced from a tiny parcel, this wine represents the pinnacle of the domaine’s range. Its profile brings together dark fruit, ripe cherry, plum, violet, sweet spice, forest floor, fine earth and a silky texture. The palate stands out for its balance: ample, delicate and persistent, with noble length and the natural elegance of great Burgundy Pinot Noir.

Grands-Échezeaux, an aristocratic Grand Cru of Flagey-Échezeaux

Located between Échezeaux and Clos de Vougeot, Grands-Échezeaux is one of the most prestigious climats of the Côte de Nuits. Smaller and more homogeneous than Échezeaux, it produces wines of depth, structure and breed, often marked by noble texture and strong ageing capacity.

At Domaine Robert Sirugue, this cuvée holds a special place. Production is extremely limited, making it a sought-after bottle for lovers of Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Échezeaux and collectible Grand Cru Burgundy. The 2017 vintage adds to this rarity with a seductive, balanced and already harmonious style.

Tasting notes

The 2017 vintage and serving advice

The 2017 vintage in red Burgundy is admired for its balance, pure fruit and relative approachability. In a Grand Cru such as Grands-Échezeaux, it gives a wine that is less massive than in some warmer years, yet highly harmonious, perfumed and already seductive, while still offering strong ageing potential.

This bottle can be enjoyed today after gradual aeration, or cellared for several more years to gain further complexity. Serve at around 15 to 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to preserve the finesse of the fruit, the forest-floor nuances and the silky texture.
