The 2023 Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Échézeaux is a classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir from a respected family estate based in Morey-Saint-Denis. Sourced from the Aux Échézeaux vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, this wine combines the village’s trademark structure and depth with the finesse and purity that define the Jouan style.
The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and red currant alongside notes of violet, baking spice and subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and concentrated red and dark berry fruit. A mineral thread runs through the wine, leading to a long, balanced finish that showcases both freshness and vineyard character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for those seeking a more structured and cellar-worthy expression of Pinot Noir. Its balance of fruit, savoury detail and elegance makes it a versatile match for roast duck, lamb, game birds or mushroom-based dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 10–15 years as additional complexity and nuance emerge.
