Robert Parker Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 01 Jan 90
The Echezeaux (125 cases were produced in 1987) might not have quite the size or richness of the Vosne-Romanee Les Brulees or Vosne-Romanee Cros Parantoux, but it is a wonderfully stylish, elegantly wrought wine with a bouquet that seems to jump from the glass. The ripe, lush, yet relatively lightweight berry flavors do not go unnoticed. It is a beautiful wine to admire for its sublety rather than strength. Few winemakers seem capable of pairing richness with subtlety as well as Henri Jayer.

Burgundy

Burgundy, in eastern France, is one of the world's top wine regions, famed for exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its unique terroir, with varied soils and microclimates, defines its wines. Key subregions include Côte d'Or (with Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune), Chablis, and Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais, offering great value. Burgundy wines are categorised by Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and Village levels. Top producers like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive, and Domaine Armand Rousseau exemplify Burgundy's commitment to quality and tradition.
