The 2016 shows dark cherry, violet and a whisper of forest floor on the nose. Palate is silky yet firm, with red plum, clove and fine-grained tannin. Finish lingers long, mineral and precise, classic Grands-Echezeaux structure.

About this wine
Domaine Baron Thenard is a renowned producer of Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru wines. The estate has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was founded by the Baron Gaspard Thenard. Today, the estate is run by the Baron's descendants who continue to produce some of the finest wines in the region.
The Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Grands Echezeaux vineyard. The vineyard is located in the heart of the Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy and is known for producing some of the most complex and elegant wines in the world.
The wine is produced using traditional methods, with the grapes being hand-picked and sorted before being fermented in oak barrels. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months before being bottled.
The Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is a full-bodied wine with a deep ruby colour and complex aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, and spice. On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety with flavours of dark fruit, vanilla, and oak. The wine has a long, smooth finish with a hint of tannin.
This wine is best enjoyed with rich, hearty dishes such as beef or game. It can also be paired with strong cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton.
Overall, the Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru from Domaine Baron Thenard is a truly exceptional wine that showcases the best of Burgundy's winemaking traditions. Its complex flavours and aromas make it a favourite among wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.
