Product Description
The 2021 Grands Échezeaux Grand Cru from Domaine Bruno Desaunay-Bissey is a rare and majestic expression of this legendary terroir, located between Échezeaux and Clos de Vougeot. Known for its power, length, and aging potential, Grands Échezeaux combines structural intensity with refined aromatics.

From low-yielding old vines, the wine undergoes traditional vinification with a proportion of whole clusters and is aged in top-quality French oak barrels (around 60% new). The cool 2021 vintage brings vibrancy and definition to this otherwise monumental wine.
