Ghislain Kohut Echezeaux Grand Cru 2019

Ghislain Kohut Echezeaux Grand Cru 2019 is a powerful yet refined Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, combining ripe dark fruit with the earthy, spicy complexity characteristic of Echezeaux. Produced with a traditional, hands-on approach, it offers impressive depth, savoury detail and firm structure, with the richness of the 2019 vintage balanced by freshness and finesse.

Appearance:

Deep ruby red with garnet highlights and a concentrated, polished core.

Aroma:

Rich aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry and plum are layered with forest floor, truffle and warm spice. With air, more savoury notes of leather, mushroom and earthy undergrowth emerge.

Taste:

Medium to full-bodied and structured, with concentrated cherry, plum and dark berry fruit framed by fine, persistent tannins. Savoury earth, dried herbs and spice bring complexity, while balanced acidity provides freshness and definition.

Finish:

Long, complex and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, forest floor, spice and finely grained tannins.

Food Pairing:

Excellent with roast duck, venison, beef fillet, truffle risotto, wild mushrooms, game

Food pairing: This Echezeaux Grand Cru pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted duck, beef tenderloin, or lamb, where the wine’s structure and depth complement the savoury flavours. It also pairs well with mushroom-based dishes like wild mushroom risotto or truffle pasta, as its earthy undertones enhance the complexity of the meal. For cheese, aged Comté or Brie de Meaux are excellent choices to highlight the wine’s elegance and finesse.
