Only 1000 bottles produced. "Very dense deep purple. The nose is all about the oak at the moment, with a significant weight of fruit coming up instead on the palate. Luxury dark raspberries, this is a full on intensely fruity Echezeaux." Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Domaine Gerard Julien Description

The domaine’s beginnings date back to the late 19th century when François Xavier Julien first purchased some vineyard land in Comblanchien and Nuits Saint Georges.

Today, Etienne has taken over at the domaine and in a very short time it’s clear he is a real talent who is continuing to improve. In the coming years he no doubt will be one of the fresh faces in Burgundy that everyone will be talking about.

Domaine Gerard Julien produces small quantities of Bourgogne Aligoté, Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Cote-de-Nuits Village, Aloxe-Corton “Les Valozieres”, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges “Aux Saints Julien”, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Les Bousselots” and Échezeaux Grand Cru.

Wine Advocate: 94+ Points

"Etienne Julien's 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, plums, woodsmoke, exotic spices, espresso roast and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and complete, it's ample and textural, with fine concentration, velvety tannins and lively acids. This is a flamboyant but controlled Echézeaux that's well worth seeking out." - 94+pts WA

100% new wood. Very dense deep purple. The nose is all about the oak at the moment, with a significant weight of fruit coming up instead on the palate. Luxury dark raspberries, this is a full on intensely fruity Echezeaux, not one of the lacy delicate ones. Fine rich long finish.
