WINE DESCRIPTION
Joseph Drouhin's Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru is a powerful and velvety Burgundy red with a deep ruby hue. On the nose, it emits aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and truffle which are balanced with nuances of wood, spice, and earth. On the palate, it has a smooth, full-bodied texture that reveals notes of wild strawberries, blackcurrants, and cherries, with nuances of licorice, clove, and violets. Its tannins are supple and its finish is long and intense. Enjoy this exquisite Grand Cru with roasted duck, game, or rich cheeses.
