Domaine Christian Clerget 'En Orveaux', Echezeaux Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, 2018, 75cl

Domaine Christian Clerget “En Orveaux” Echézeaux Grand Cru 2018 is a grand and exceptionally refined red Burgundy from Côte de Nuits, possessing that unique combination of depth, elegance, and authority found only in the finest Grand Cru wines. The 2018 vintage lends the wine beautiful maturity and generosity, yet without losing the cool, mineral grip that keeps its expression poised and precise. It is a wine with both aristocratic calm and intensity, where Pinot Noir reveals its most complex and seductive side.

The aroma opens with black cherries, red berries, and dark plums, beautifully layered with potpourri, sweet spices, tobacco, slightly damp forest floor, and a discreet hint of vanilla and pepper. On the palate, the wine is silky smooth and deep, with a beautiful balance between freshness, structure, and velvety tannins. The fruit is both ripe and vibrant, and the taste develops elegantly with nuances of red and dark berries, spice, minerality, and a subtle earthy complexity, before culminating in a long, persistent, and very nuanced finish.

This is a wine that pairs excellently with duck, pigeon, veal, lamb, and light game, as well as dishes with mushrooms, truffles, and elegant sauces, where its finesse and depth truly shine. “En Orveaux” 2018 is an obvious choice for special dinners and grand Burgundy moments, for those who desire a wine with both sensuality, class, and aging potential – a Grand Cru that impresses with its silky texture and its quiet, yet very convincing grandeur.
