Marsannay Les Échezeaux 2019 - Faiveley
THE VINTAGE
2019 is a cool and balanced vintage characterised by extreme weather (frost, heatwave). Volumes are low but the quality is exceptional. Harvesting began on Monday 9 September and ended on 21 September in the Côte de Nuits. The wines are charming, well balanced, fresh and straight. The tannins are fine and not very astringent. On the palate, they are fragrant. They express notes of juicy and sunny fruits as well as notes of spices.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE APPELLATION
The name "Marceniacum" (4th century) is probably derived from "Marcenus", the name of the owner of a Roman villa located on the site. This vineyard used to belong to the monks of Bèze. "Les Echezeaux" is one of the best climats of Marsannay and is the subject of a request for a Premier Cru classification.

VINIFICATION & MATURATION
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The proportions of de-stemming and whole grapes vary with each vintage. The grapes are punched down daily to extract their colour, tannins and aromas from the skins. After 19 days of vatting, the alcoholic fermentation is completed. The free-run wine is drained off by gravity, while a slow and gentle pressing of the marc produces a press wine of great purity. For 14 months, our wines are matured in French oak barrels (20 to 30% of which are new) in our cellars with a natural and constant hygrometry and temperature. These barrels are selected for the fineness of their grain and their moderate toasting. The end of the maturing process is carried out in vats for 2 months.
TASTING
With its intense ruby colour, this Marsannay "Les Echezeaux" has a bouquet of red fruits with hints of prune. On the palate, it is tannic and opulent, which gives it good ageing potential.
