ROBERT PARKER “The Grands Echezeaux exhibits a deep color, a rich, cassis scented bouquet, a judicious use of toasty new oak, light to medium body, and 5-7 years of potential evolution. Here is an estate making good, commercial examples of their appellations. However, with lower yields and perhaps a more extended cuvaison, this domaine has the potential to produce positively brilliant wines. I do not think it is just that the domaine seeks to produce wines that are light and ready to drink when released. The 1988s are all soft, very forward, and lacking somewhat in concentration, but they are attractive and easy-to-drink wines.”

Sensory Profile & Usage
This Grand Cru unveils a captivating nose of ripe black cherries, wild raspberries, and subtle hints of forest floor and spices. On the palate, experience a harmonious balance of elegant tannins, vibrant acidity, and layered flavors of dark fruit and earthy minerality, culminating in a lengthy, refined finish.
For optimal enjoyment, serve slightly below room temperature (16-18°C) and decant prior to tasting to fully reveal its complexity. Store in a temperature-controlled cellar, and pair delicately with gourmet dishes such as roasted duck breast or truffle-infused risotto to enhance its luxurious profile.
