2018 Domaine Dujac Échezeaux Grand Cru – A Grand Cru of Balance and Purity
The 2018 Domaine Dujac Échezeaux Grand Cru embodies the refinement and expressive character of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Known for its elegant yet structured style, this Grand Cru bottling reflects the precision and restraint that have made Domaine Dujac one of the most admired producers in Burgundy. The 2018 vintage highlights both power and finesse, a hallmark of this renowned family estate.
Tasting Notes
Captivating aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild rose unfold with hints of spice, truffle, and earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine shows depth and focus, with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity, and layers of ripe red fruit that glide into a persistent, graceful finish. This Échezeaux delivers both youthful vibrancy and the promise of long-term cellar evolution.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Domaine Dujac’s parcels in Échezeaux are farmed organically and biodynamically, located on well-drained limestone soils that produce wines of elegance and aromatic precision. The 2018 vintage was fermented with a high proportion of whole clusters, a hallmark of the domaine’s style, and aged for 15–18 months in French oak barrels, around 70% new. The result is a wine of extraordinary balance and textural refinement.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2018 Échezeaux Grand Cru is a superb example of Dujac’s artistry, combining vintage richness with the estate’s signature purity. As with all Dujac Grand Crus, production is limited, making this wine highly sought-after by collectors of Burgundy wines. Perfect for your collection or to age gracefully for decades.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2018 Burgundy vintage was marked by warmth and generosity, yielding wines with ripe fruit, excellent structure, and remarkable balance. For Dujac, the combination of old vines and restrained extraction produced a Grand Cru of exceptional poise and complexity.
