The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Echézeaux is a Grand Cru Burgundy from the prestigious Echézeaux vineyard in France’s Côte de Nuits, produced by the respected Confuron-Cotetidot estate. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, this wine reflects the combination of concentration, elegance and site expression that defines top-tier Burgundy. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit with excellent natural balance, allowing the wine to show both immediate depth and strong ageing potential. The nose is layered and perfumed, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with refined tannins and vibrant acidity that provide structure and precision. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and subtle blackcurrant unfold gradually, supported by savoury notes of dried herbs, liquorice, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Echézeaux contribute freshness and mineral detail, while the estate’s traditional approach preserves the purity of Pinot Noir fruit and vineyard character. The texture is concentrated yet finely balanced, leading into a long, dry finish marked by lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a structured and cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with depth, complexity and classic Côte de Nuits character. The 2022 vintage combines richness with freshness and should continue to evolve gracefully over the next 12–18 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes, slow-cooked beef or aged hard cheeses.
