Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a broody bouquet with dark berry fruit laced with black tea and touches of leather. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost "chunky" tannins. This is not a graceful Echézeaux but there is plenty of substance with a judicious touch of spice on the finish. Fine, but give it time.
About the Producer
Anne-Francoise Gros, one of Jean Gros’ three children, has established a solid character and reputation in the wine world after taking over her father’s domaine in 1988. At 25 years old, Anne-Francoise saw the family domaine grow from 3 to 6.5 ha with a new gravity-fed cellar in Beaune. As a woman winegrower, Anne-Francoise knew how to prove herself and convince all who doubted her ability to manage a domaine. She showed that she had not only the shoulders but the head to make her family heritage one of the greatest domaines of Burgundy.
