2022 Echezeaux "En Orveaux" Grand Cru - 6er OHK

The 2022 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru is quite "strict" on the nose, a little taciturn at first, offering more black than red fruit and undergrowth and light granitic aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and heightened acidity. There’s quite a lot of finesse here, though it needs a little more grip and matière on the finish. It’s a pretty wine, and I suspect it will gain more weight during the second winter in barrel. - Neal Martin (11/2023)

Deep nose of sour cherries with so many delicate spicy and earthy nuances. Ripe and expansive, but so bright and precise. Great energy at the driving finish. From a plot right next to Musigny. - Stuart Pigott (06/2023)

Spearmint and vanilla accents frame the cherry, blackberry, plum and stony mineral flavors in this dense, monolithic red. It's all pulled together by vibrant acidity, while beefy tannins ply the fresh, mouthwatering finish. Though this is disjointed now, the long aftertaste shows both its pedigree and potential. - Bruce Sanderson (11/2024)

Aromas of dark berries, incense, exotic spices, peonies and orange zest introduce the 2022 Echézeaux En Orveaux Grand Cru, a full-bodied, broad and enveloping wine that's ample and seamless, with a rich core of fruit that largely conceals its suave structuring tannins, animated by lively acids and concluding with a saline finish. - William Kelley (01/2024)
