This Echezeaux is an elegant and complex Pinot Noir with medium body, soft texture, fresh acidity and moderate tannins. The soft structure and the red fruit notes suit fatty pork, where the moderate tannin cuts through the fat without overtaking the dish. The fresh acidity and low tannin make the wine unusually cheese-friendly, just as its earthy, umami-driven character plays beautifully alongside mushrooms and truffle. Stick to more delicate preparations and dishes with red fruits, so the wine's finesse is given room.

Critic reviews
95Allen Meadows
Burghound
Reduction presently dominates the underlying fruit though there is both excellent verve and freshness to the impressively concentrated medium weight flavors that exhibit focused power on the velvety, sneaky long, firm and balanced finale. This is an excellent Ech that should amply repay extended keeping; indeed it's going to need at least 7 to 8 years first as it's quite tightly wound today.

A fine mid crimson purple. The Echezeaux brings us back to the elegant lacy style. I keep resniffing the fascinating bouquet. There is a saltiness which comes out with the stems, but the very gentle lacy red fruit is refined and continues with excellent persistence.
