Tasting notes
(from the climat Les Champs Traversins): Full, deep red with ruby highlights. Spicy and cool on the nose, offering scents of blueberry, blackberry and licorice. Dense and sappy in the mouth, showing excellent intensity and depth to the dark fruit and violet flavors. Finishes with a very firm tannic spine and a touch of youthful bitterness.

The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru (which comes from the lieu-dit of "En Orveaux") has a slight reduction on the nose, but beneath lies fine redcurrant and iodine scents that should be quite intense once in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, fleshy tannins, crisp acidity and good density on the finish. This is a very fine Echézeaux in the making, though I suspect that the 2012 will be the one to seek out.
