Jean-Marc Millot Grand Echezeaux Grand Cru

The Grands Echézeaux, AOC Grand Cru since 1937, are located in the continuity of the Musigny (Grand Cru from Chambolle) on the southern axis of the Côte, on a less turbulent and more regular surface. They are quite homogeneous, close to the upper part of the Clos de Vougeot (3 to 4% slope, clay-limestone soils and slab of Baician limestone), at 250 meters above sea level. Its vines exposed to the east offer a powerful and ample wine.

Winemaker notes

Grands Echézeaux are complex and majestic wines that require time and patience in tasting. They are not revealed immediately, but subsequently show a beautiful length and impressive depth. We recognize here the characteristic of the wines located on the "Faille des Grands Crus". Freshness and depth complete a very lively aromatic palette of black fruits. This wine is strong and elegant accompanied by fresh and complex aromas.

2023

Burghound 91-93: This is like smelling a bouquet of flowers with its perfumed nose of spicy red berries and exotic tea scents. There is again a lovely texture to the vibrant and supple but not especially dense flavors that display focused power on the dusty, moderately austere and impressively lingering finale. Despite not being a monster of concentration, it should age well on its balance.
