Tasting notes
Notes of plums, warm spices, rose petals and peonies introduce the 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, ample and open-knit wine that's charming and easygoing. It's a creditable effort, given its suboptimal location.

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru, the métayage shared with Christophe Roumier, contains 50% whole bunch and new oak. It has quite an introverted nose at the moment, dark berry fruit, tobacco and light undergrowth aromas coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, quite structured for this climat. Maybe it needs a little more flesh on the finish? Let’s see how it turns out in bottle (if I can find one.)
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.
