A scintillating colour of a sturdy red introduces a delicate nose of alpine strawberries, roses and spices with fresh mint. Elegance and refinement for this magnificent vineyard, Echezeaux. The attack is clear and precise, it opens out in the mouth in a sappy and classy manner to make you salivate. These floral, fruity and spicy tones are distilled the whole way across the palate. A taffeta wine, as Rabelais put it. A treat to savour ! It is wonderful with a grilled entrecôte steak served with thyme-roasted potatoes, or pan-fried venison with redcurrant jelly, or fine cheeses such as Brillat-Savarin. Serve between 14°C and15°C. Let the wine refine gently for 6 to 7 years before you dream of trying it. For patient people, start enjoying it after 15 to 20 years, or more depending on the vintage. jeanpierreguyon.com
