COLLECTION GRANDS CRUS

ECHEZEAUX
Grand Cru  "La Grande Complication"

Like the precision and artistry of master watchmakers, every note in our Grande Complication reveals itself with purity and authenticity.

It begins with an intense cassis and vivid raspberry—capturing the brilliance of this meticulous grape selection. Then, a delicate mechanism of aromas unfolds with soft spice. Silence follows. Harmony, power, finesse, and purity converge in a composition both intricate and precious.

The site’s measure is perfectly set, and the grandeur of Pinot Noir elevated.

Our Grande Complication will take time to express itself fully, with its deepest emotions unfolding slowly—measured by time, and drawn out in the quiet pursuit of excellence.

A PERSONAL REFLECTION

domaine mongeard mugneret la grande complication ombre

Terroir, ORIGIN,
and identity

This Grand Cru benefits from an exceptional exposure and a prime location that contributes to the global renown of Bourgogne.

This cuvée is made from grapes selected for their pristine condition and optimal ripeness. During harvest, specially trained pickers identify the original Pinot Mongeard vines planted in 1945—now propagated throughout the Echezeaux parcels. This fine selection, naturally producing small, unevenly sized clusters known as millerandé—highly prized for their concentration—is vinified with all the precision and care that Pinot Noir demands.

Aged 100% in new oak, only three or four barrels are crafted—destined to stir the hearts of those attuned to the finest expressions of this region. Its purity, generosity, and poised structure make it a wine of rare distinction.
