Henri Boillot Echezeaux GC 2019

Tasting Notes

Pascal and Charles Lachaux look after a thin, 0.7 hectares strip of vines in the Les Rouges du Bas climat. This lieu-dit stretches high up the Côte alongside 1er Les Beaux Monts. There is very little topsoil before the vines hit the hard limestone (similar to that found in Premeaux), so the wine offers tremendous finesse, perfume and texture. A wine to remind us why the vines of Echezeaux (and Flagey in general) have so often been grouped with those of Vosne. Serious seduction and class on offer here. - Importer Note

“Here the floral character is even more evident with a strikingly fresh nose of black cherry aromas that are amply cut with a variety of spice and discreet earth notes. The moderately broad-shouldered and velvet-textured flavors possess excellent precision on the mouth coating, firm and entirely serious finish that displays outstanding length. Well worth considering.” 92-94 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound, Issue 61
