Tasting notes
The profound Echezeaux is one of the best examples I have tasted from this grand cru vineyard, which has a tendency to turn out light wines. This 1990 displays a super nose of sweet black-raspberries, toasty new oak, and violets. In the mouth, there is full body, a generous yet gentle, expansive richness, an unctuous texture, and an explosively long, lovely, impeccably well-balanced finish. Drink it over the next 9-10 years. From another branch of the ubiquitous Gros family in Vosne-Romanee, the wines from this producer share a similarity with the wines of the Domaine Anne et Francois Gros, as well as those of Domaine Jean Gros. Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, Europvin, and Peter Vezan Selections, various American importers.
