Aromas of raspberries, red plums, orange rind, peonies and raw cocoa introduce the 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, muscular and structured wine that, like this year's Clos Vougeot, will need some time.

The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru does not come from the Domaine this year since their own fruit was supplemented with purchased grapes. It has a pretty bouquet with vibrant red cherry and raspberry fruit laced with crushed stone and damp undergrowth scents. The palate is well defined on the entry with a gentle grip, the concentration already apparent but countered by a fine thread of acidity. The finish is just a tad straightforward but otherwise, this is a finely crafted Echézeaux.

The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which comes from the "Combe d'Orveau" lieu-dit, is usually one of the first to be picked, as the soils can suffer drought. It has a crisp, dark cherry and crushed strawberry bouquet, hints of damp moss developing, the 40% whole cluster nicely integrated and lending freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, gently gripping the mouth with notes of raspberry, mulberry and sea salt.

The appellation covers an area of approximately 37 hectares and is divided into 11 different climats, each with its own unique terroir.

The history of Echezeaux dates back to the 13th century when the Cistercian monks first planted vines in the area.

Today, Echezeaux is still owned by the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and is considered one of the most prestigious wine appellations in the world.

The style of production in Echezeaux is traditional and focused on quality. The vineyards are carefully tended by hand, with strict attention paid to pruning, canopy management, and soil health. The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted rigorously to ensure only the best fruit is used in the winemaking process.
