Tasting notes
The 2020 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru (the lieu-dit has been stated on the label since 2018) has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with dark cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry fruit, the marl terroir coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, the 20% whole bunch imparting a pleasing peppery note and energy on the finish. This should age with style.

Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Fine dark spice and savoury dark fruit. A little charry on the palate. Firm, dry, elegant with a long dark-fruited and slightly charry finish.
