Echezeaux Les Loachausses, Anne Gros 2016

Slightly more obvious wood treatment frames the notably spicier and floral-infused aromas of both red and dark currant along with a hint of tea. The velvety, concentrated and sappy flavors are more refined as well as more powerful while the impressively persistent finish is shaped by ripe tannins. This is quite firm but not rustic and I particularly like the balance here. Note: from a .76 ha parcel, which is about 30% of the total climat

The Echezeaux (where yields were down by 50%) is quite flattering this year, with an expressive nose of rose petal, red and black fruit, coniferous forest floor and an elegant framing of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, ample and expansive, with a sweet core of fruit and good depth.
