Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Reticent but very pure aromas of red cherry, spices and tobacco. Offers a lovely silky texture for the vintage, showing as much earth and tobacco character as red fruits and flowers. Not a particularly sweet style but distinctly fleshy in the context of the vintage. Its substantial tongue-dusting tannins call for patience but I could see starting to drink this wine at the same time as the Vosne villages .

Dark red with ruby tones. Lovely purity to the aromas of blackberry, raspberry, violet, licorice and blood orange. Not yet expressive in the middle palate but boasts excellent density and an attractive oaky sweetness. This youthfully tight wine finishes with serious dusty tannins that will require patience.
The 2014 Echézeaux Les Loachausses Grand Cru seems to be moving into its secondary aromas, brown spices and leather infusing the red fruit. It's a little rustic in style compared to recent vintages. The palate is soft on the entry, with dry tannins. The 2014 needs more freshness and fruité. It's pretty austere. Elegant, but I would not leave this a long time in the cellar.
