The Emmanuel Rouget Echezeaux 2004 is a Grand Cru Burgundy that exemplifies the elegance and complexity of the Echezeaux vineyard, located in the renowned Vosne-Romanée appellation. Despite the challenges of the 2004 vintage, Emmanuel Rouget crafted a wine of remarkable finesse, reflecting his mastery of winemaking and the legendary legacy of his uncle, Henri Jayer. This wine is a celebration of the Pinot Noir grape and its expression in one of Burgundy’s most hallowed terroirs.
Appearance: A luminous ruby hue with garnet highlights, showcasing both the wine’s maturity and its delicacy.
Nose: The bouquet is refined and layered, offering fresh red fruits such as wild strawberries, raspberries, and sour cherries, intertwined with floral notes of violets and dried roses. Subtle hints of spice—white pepper, cinnamon—and earthy undertones of forest floor and truffles add depth and complexity.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is elegant and finely textured, with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides freshness and balance. The red fruit flavors are complemented by delicate spice and a touch of minerality that reflects the unique terroir of Echezeaux. The finish is long, pure, and harmonious, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and poise.
The Echezeaux Grand Cru vineyard is known for its rich clay-limestone soils, which lend the wine its characteristic minerality and elegance. In 2004, a cooler vintage marked by rain presented challenges, but Emmanuel Rouget’s meticulous selection of grapes and careful vinification ensured a wine of remarkable quality.
The wine was aged in oak barrels, with a portion of new oak, striking a perfect balance between the structure imparted by the wood and the delicate expression of the Pinot Noir fruit.
The Emmanuel Rouget Echezeaux 2004 is a wine of extraordinary finesse and authenticity. Its bright fruit, floral elegance, and seamless balance embody the best qualities of Burgundy’s Grand Cru vineyards, even in a challenging vintage. A perfect choice for collectors and connoisseurs, this wine offers both immediate pleasure and the promise of graceful aging.
