FAIVELEY

Echezeaux Grand cru 2012

(from a .45 ha parcel in Les Treux where Clos de Vougeot meets Grands Echézeaux). Strong reduction dominates the nose. There is an attractively round and supple mid-palate to the concentrated and ripe medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the mouth coating, impressively long and very firmly structured finish. Patience is absolutely required here.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
