Product Description
The 2021 Échezeaux Grand Cru from Domaine Bruno Desaunay-Bissey is a powerful yet finely detailed Pinot Noir from one of Vosne-Romanée’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards. Sourced from old vines in the lieu-dit Les Rouges du Bas, this wine is marked by aromatic intensity, layered fruit, and a deep mineral core.

Aged in French oak barrels (around 50% new), it combines the concentration and structure typical of Grand Cru terroirs with the lifted freshness and tension of the cool 2021 vintage. A wine built for the cellar, but already showing class and complexity.
