Emmanuel Rouget, Echezeaux Grand Cru, 2023
Rouget's Echezeaux comes from three parcels - Les Treux, Les Cruots (also known as Vignes Blanches), and Clos Saint-Denis - blended into one of the Cote de Nuits' most serious Grand Crus. Emmanuel learned the trade from his uncle Henri Jayer starting in 1976; today his sons Nicolas and Guillaume carry that lineage forward. The winemaking is textbook Jayer school: low yields, full destemming, cool pre-ferment maceration, aging in carefully chosen barrels (Francois Freres leads the way, joined by Taransaud and Cavin). The 2023 is built for the cellar - all the perfume and depth Echezeaux can offer, anchored by a firm, serious tannin spine that the family is famous for. This is patient wine for patient drinkers. Five years minimum, ideally more.
