RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

Dark-colored and with a brooding, tight, muted nose, the massively endowed Grands-Echezeaux explodes on the palate with powerful, huge, black, roasted fruits. Rugged and dark, a full-bodied, muscular, rich, and spicy behemoth...

93Wine Spectator

Sensational. Because of its dark color. Because of its seductive rose petal, violet, plummy aromas. Because of its nod to the earth, the soil, the mineral... Who will not love to drink this full-bodied red Burgundy? Very classy.

REGION

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.
