Echézeaux, Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros 2022

Tasting Notes

Here too there is enough wood surrounding the exceptionally floral and exuberantly spicy nose that displays a mix of various ripe dark berries, plum, exotic tea and a whiff of soy. The rich, vibrant and velvet-textured larger-scaled flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also helps to buffer the firm, youthfully austere and impressively long finale. This also needs better depth but here too that would appear to be a matter of patience. This is also excellent. (Drink starting 2034)

Medium deep crimson. The nose jumps out of the glass. Some detail here, very much white pepper behind, quite savoury with some floral notes too. This is a medium-bodied Echezeaux with a liveliness that delivers a good level of excitement.

This lovely wine has a complex array of red and black fruit aromas with a pleasant depth created by smoke, earth, and leather hints. The texture is firm and muscular, with rewarding density and impressive length. The grapes are now from the Gros family holdings; previously, Caroline Parent and her brother Mathias had vinified 0.26 hectares in a sharecropping agreement, but the owner took back the vines. Fortunately for the pair, following the reshuffling of the Gros holdings among the parties, they now farm 0.56 of their vines. (Drink between 2028-2055)
