RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

A round version, bordering on opulent, with a firm structure that keeps the black cherry, blackberry and violet flavors focused and persistent.

92-94Stephen Tanzer

Musky raspberry, strawberry and spices on the perfumed nose. Juicy, leanish and penetrating; in a very cerebral, pure style, with lovely inner-mouth tension and floral intensity.

92-95Burghound.com

There is superb intensity to the powerful and tautly muscular flavors that exude a very fine minerality on the overtly austere, serious and seriously persistent finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, 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.
