"The finest Echezeaux I have tasted from this estate, the 2003 is produced from a parcel located in the upper reaches of its grand cru, in the Rouge du Bas sector. Aromatically, candied red cherries and abundant spices explode from the glass of this medium to full-bodied wine. Concentrated, admirably balanced, rich, and intense, it coats the palate with dense layers of sweet red as well as black fruits. Fresh yet extremely ripe, it vaunts copious quantities of tannin in its chocolate-laced, exceptionally long finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Echezeaux is a Grand Cru near Vosne-Romanee in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits, producing elegant, perfumed Pinot Noir reds of red-fruit finesse; style varies across its large, parcel-divided vineyard area.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
