Few Burgundy names command the same level of attention as Emmanuel Rouget. As the nephew and successor to Henri Jayer, Rouget continues a winemaking legacy built on meticulous farming, low yields and a style that favors purity, seamless texture and quiet intensity. Echézeaux is one of his rarest bottlings, drawn from old vines in some of the appellation’s choicest lieux-dits, and released each year in very limited quantities.
The 2022 Echézeaux shows a vivid, tightly woven profile with red and black cherry, rose petal, subtle spice and a clear mineral imprint from the vineyard’s fine-grained limestone. The palate is concentrated yet controlled, with finely detailed tannins and fresh acidity giving the wine a long, direct finish. This is a serious, cellar-worthy grand cru with the depth and refinement collectors expect from Rouget, and a vintage that promises steady development over the next two decades.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Echézeaux Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainable, meticulous parcel-by-parcel work
Style: Red. Structured, refined and built for long aging
