RATINGS

92-94The Wine Advocate

Offers a nose of intense blackberry and fresh herb aromas. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and ample, crammed with lush layers of cherries, blackberries, and spices. This sexy, extroverted wine has loads of sweet tannin in its personality.

92Stephen Tanzer

...Superripe but fresh aromas of roasted red fruits, mocha, brown spices and tobacco. Lush, layered, broad and sweet; really fills the mouth with flavor. A generous, charming, thoroughly ripe Echezeaux that finishes with suave tannins.

91Burghound.com

...fruit that is at once very sexy and very Vosne in character...the wine manages an exquisite sense of elegance and balance despite the very substantial tannins...old school Burgundy in style yet offers more refinement...Beautiful juice.

90Wine Spectator

Gorgeous. Refined yet powerful, this inky-black, cool red Burgundy marries class, character and finesse. Medium-bodied, it offers excellent midpalate concentration, hinting at a long future. Ripe tannins, balanced finish.

PRODUCER

Jean Grivot

Domaine Jean Grivot is a 42-acre domaine in Clos de Vougeot, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. The Grivot family has been growing grapes and producing wine in the area since the 17th century. Today the estate is run by Etienne Grivot who worked in viticulture in California and other regions of France before taking over the estate. Domaine Jean Grivot has Grand Cru parcels in Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot and Echezeaux, and Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saints-Georges. Clive Coates describes the estate as “one of the great domaines of Burgundy. Everything is done in the vineyard with respect for the quality and life of the soil.”

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.
