DOMAINE CONFURON-GINDRE Echezeaux Grand Cru
Vin Rouge, Pinot Noir
2017 – Elegant – A relatively warm, dry, and early season produced a healthy and comparatively generous crop. The wines are fragrant, supple, and immediately expressive, with bright red fruit, fine tannins, and moderate concentration. They are harmonious and approachable rather than especially powerful.
2018 – Powerful – A wet winter and spring established strong water reserves before an exceptionally hot, sunny, and dry summer. The wines are ripe, broad, and concentrated, with dark fruit, generous alcohol, and substantial tannins. The best examples preserve freshness, although warmer sites can show considerable richness.
2019 – Classic – A warm, dry season with spring frost, uneven flowering, and periods of intense summer heat produced a small, concentrated crop. The wines combine ripe fruit and impressive depth with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and remarkable aromatic definition, giving a powerful yet classically balanced profile.
2020 – Powerful – An exceptionally warm, sunny, and early vintage, with harvest beginning in August at many estates. Despite the heat and drought, Pinot Noir retained surprising freshness. The wines are concentrated, intense, and energetic, with ripe fruit, firm structure, and excellent ageing potential.
2021 – Elegant – A cool, wet, and difficult season marked by severe April frost, mildew pressure, and low yields. Improved weather from mid-August helped the remaining Pinot Noir complete ripening. The wines are light, fragrant, and fresh, with red fruit, moderate alcohol, delicate tannins, and an earlier-drinking profile.
