Tasting notes
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru bursts with aromas of wild berries, cherries and spices, framed by a generous application of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and fruit-driven, this is a gourmand, giving Echezeaux that will drink well young. This derives from the same investor-owned parcel as Christophe Roumier's rendition.

The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from Combe d’Orveau and is shared with Christophe Roumier. It has a very well-defined bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberry and crushed limestone aromas. The cohesive palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and gentle grip toward the finish, which just tapers slightly. Still, this is very fine, if missing a little intellect.
About the producer
This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
