Echezeaux Grand Cru 2021 - Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet

Échezeaux Grand Cru 2021 — Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet

The Échezeaux Grand Cru 2021 from Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is a distinguished Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most emblematic Grand Cru climats. Under the direction of Amélie Berthaut, the domaine has become one of the most closely followed names in Fixin and Vosne-Romanée, producing wines of precision, energy and clear vineyard identity.

In the 2021 vintage, this Échezeaux favours elegance, freshness and aromatic definition. The wine shows a more lifted and classical Burgundy profile, with bright red fruit, cherry, raspberry, flowers, fine spice, a touch of blood orange, mineral detail and a long, fresh, delicately structured palate.

Échezeaux, a prestigious Grand Cru between Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot

Located in Flagey-Échezeaux, between Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot, Échezeaux is one of the great names of the Côte de Nuits. This large and complex Grand Cru gives very different expressions depending on the parcels, yet the best wines combine perfume, depth, silky texture and noble aromatic complexity.

At Berthaut-Gerbet, the Échezeaux comes from a very small holding spread across several sectors of the climat. This diversity brings nuance: fruit, freshness, spice, mineral lift and fine structure. The domaine’s style favours balance over extraction, offering a modern, pure and refined expression of Pinot Noir.

Tasting notes

The 2021 vintage and serving advice

The 2021 vintage in Burgundy produced red wines of classical freshness, moderate structure and aromatic clarity, far from the riper solar profiles of some recent years. For a Grand Cru such as Échezeaux, this freshness highlights perfume, texture and the detailed expression of terroir.

This bottle can be cellared for several years to gain further complexity, yet it will already appeal to lovers of fine Burgundy after gradual aeration. Serve at around 15 to 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to preserve the delicacy of the fruit, the floral notes and the mineral length.
