2022 Emmanuel Rouget, Echezeaux Grand Cru

The Emmanuel Rouget Echezeaux Grand Cru is defined by a commitment to ultra-low yields and a rigorous, minimal-intervention cellar approach that preserves the identity of its 70-year-old vines. Sourced from premier parcels in the Flagey-Echezeaux commune, the wine is shaped by the site’s signature clay-limestone soils and easterly exposure, which impart structural complexity and mineral tension. Following the domaine’s strict standard, the grapes are entirely destemmed, cold-macerated, and matured in 100% new oak to refine and stabilize the wine's intrinsic density. The 2022 vintage provided a warm, stable growing season that allowed for physiological maturity while retaining remarkable nerve, resulting in a profile characterized by fine-grained, integrated tannins and an architectural, long-lasting finish.
