Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 04 Jan 19
Lachaux lost half of his crop in this vineyard to frost, but the 2016 Echezeaux Grand Cru is superb, offering up a deep bouquet of wild berries, orange rind and mossy soil. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and expansive, with a firm, tight-knit core, excellent concentration and a rich chassis of structuring tannin, underpinned by vibrant acids. This will need and reward time, but it's one of the finest renditions of this site to date from Charles Lachaux.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jul 18
The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from Les Rouges du Bas and contains a 100% whole bunch. It has a lucid ruby colour. A little muted at first, it opens with dark cherry, orange blossom and raspberry preserve scents, a hint of vanilla pod in the background. The palate is ripe and sappy on the entry with superb definition, a little spice towards the finish, an Echézeaux with what feels like natural flow. Superb.

Mid crimson. Rich and sumptuous again with real rigour and some spiciness. Polished tannins. Real grand cru quality and density. Youthful. But there is some transparency and lift. Sweet and spicy. (JR)
