RATINGS

91The Wine Advocate

Refined, pixilated nose that is so sensual and pure. The palate has a fine grainy structure on the entry, well-judged acidity, impressive weight with joyful, vivacious notes of raspberry coulis and dark cherries.

91Vinous / IWC

Medium red. A perfumed, spicy basket of red fruits on the nose. Silky and opulent, with a satisfying fine-grained texture to the flavors of redcurrant, spices and licorice. Finishes with a hint of torrefaction and sweet tannins.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits Villages, Flagey-Echezeaux, Echezeaux

Echezeaux is a 93-acre Grand Cru vineyard on the southern edge of the Cote de Nuits. It up the slope from Clos de Vougeot and Grands Echezeaux and is one of the largest grand crus in Burgundy. The vineyard varies in elevation from 250 to 300 meters, and the terroir includes significant clay as well as thin, rocky soil. The largest proprietors are Domaine de la Romanee Conti, with 11.68 acres; Mongeard-Mugneret with 6.25 acres, and Emmanuel-Rouget, with 3.58 acres. Echezeaux produces red wine.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
