Terroir: Located in "Champs Traversins", in the heart of the historic Echézeaux vineyard, the vines are planted in north/south rows at the end bordering on La Combe d`Orveau.
Fairly thin brown soil. Very fine sany/siliceous gravel on the surface.
Perfect microclimate: cool, well-ventilated, and healthy thanks to an air current.
Vinification & Ageing: The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted and totally destemmed. The wine stayed on the skins for 21 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats. Pigeage (punching down the cap) was done twice a day during alcoholic fermentation.
100% malolactic fermentation
The wine was aged entirely in oak barrels.
Duration of barrel ageing: 20 months
Tasting Notes:Colour: Splendid, dark and deep red-black.
Nose: Ripe and spicy fruitiness, with notes of juicy black cherry, emphasized by notes of coffee and sweet spices.
Palate: Dense, fleshy, mouth-watering, smooth with ripe black fruits notes and an exceptionally long-lasting and enveloping mouth finish.
