Echézeaux, Domaine Jean Grivot 2008

Tasting Notes

**Note: from the climat of Les Cruots, also known as Vignes Blanche**
A more complex and more refined nose that is perhaps not quite as ripe features spicy, fresh and elegant red and blue pinot fruit aromas that possess a distinct floral component and the greater refinement also can be found on the rich and full-bodied flavors that evidence a sleek muscularity that culminates in a powerful, intense and dramatically long finish that somewhat surprisingly, is even more austere. This should be marvelous if given enough cellar time.

The 2008 Echezeaux boasts incredible inner fragrance, the silkiest of tannins and exceptional polish. The wine graces the palate with weightless elegance in its gently spiced dark fruit. This sensual, dazzling Echezeaux is a jewel. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033.
