The 2022 Domaine Michel Gros Echézeaux Les Loächausses Grand Cru is an elegant and finely structured Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards. Concentrated red berry fruit, floral aromatics and refined spice are layered with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, offering exceptional depth, finesse and long cellaring potential.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with roast duck, beef Wellington, venison, rack of lamb, wild mushroom dishes and aged cheeses.
95 Points - Vinous
The 2022 Echézeaux Les Loächausses Grand Cru is the maiden release from a 0.38-hectare strip that hitherto was part of the cuvée produced by Gros Frère & Soeur and is matured in 100% new oak. [Readers should note that Paul Gros, son of Anne, is farming the same lieu-dit to be released under his own name.] It has a tightly wound nose at first. Then it opens with ebullient red berry fruit, Japanese yuzu, a smear of Seville orange marmalade, and sous-bois aromas. The palate is smooth and harmonious, quite plush in style - lots of rondeur here. It’s quite toasty toward the finish due to the oak, but it feels long and sumptuous. Afford this several years to soak up the wood.
