Description
Échézeaux Grand Cru 2002 – Pierre André
The finesse of a legendary Côte de Nuits terroir in a distinguished vintage
This Échézeaux Grand Cru 2002, crafted by Pierre André, hails from the prestigious Échézeaux climat in the village of Flagey-Échézeaux, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir grown on well-drained, clay-limestone soils, this Grand Cru showcases the full complexity and elegance of one of Burgundy’s most revered appellations.
The 2002 vintage is considered one of the finest of the early 21st century in Burgundy, marked by ideal weather conditions, healthy harvests, and perfectly ripe grapes. These elements combined to produce wines of great precision, structure, and aging potential.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby color with light brick hues, reflecting its graceful evolution. The nose is complex and refined, offering aromas of black cherry, candied raspberry, soft spices, forest floor, fine leather, and a hint of emerging truffle. On the palate, the attack is smooth, the tannins are silky, and the wine shows superb balance, with a long, lingering finish supported by vibrant freshness.
This is a gastronomic Grand Cru, perfect alongside truffled poultry, veal with wild mushrooms, or aged Brie. The Échézeaux Grand Cru 2002 by Pierre André is a wine of patience, depth, and quiet emotion — a true reflection of Burgundy’s timeless elegance.
