Tasting notes
The 2021 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru comes from a parcel on the south-facing slope and includes some stem addition. It is fragrant on the nose with hints of white pepper and bay leaf embroidered into the lifted red fruit. Quite complex and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, almost citrus-like entry, a little bony towards the finish but with more persistence than the Clos Vougeot.

Wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, plums, sweet spices and orange rind, the 2021 Echézeaux En Orveaux Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a broad attack and a supple, enveloping mid-palate. Faiveley pruned late here and was rewarded by a creditable yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare.
