Cellaring : 2030 - 2060

Tasted by William Kelley in 2021 : "The 2019 Grand Echézeaux Grand Cru shows beautifully, unfolding in the glass with deep aromas of cherry, plum, orange peel, incense and spice. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it is elegantly muscular, with a layered core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. This is a brilliant wine that represents relative value in the constellation of Vosne-Romanée/Flagey-Echézeaux grands crus."
