Cellar Circle Exclusive

Half of En Orveaux is included within Echezeaux Grand Cru. This comes from the upper half of the lieu-dit as the slope rises up, which is classified as Premier Cru.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux 1er Cru is very fragrant on the nose, showing a little more intensity than the Aux Reignots, with superbly delineated dark berry fruit, forest floor and light truffle scents. The palate is medium-bodied with quite an assertive entry, and the tannins exert fine grip. This is very well balanced with excellent weight on the mid-palate, but there is a sense of restraint on the finish. Excellent.

(94—96)/100

Though the colour is no deeper, here the fruit wins out entirely over the oak. There is significant density here without losing the graceful style of the Cathiard 2023s. A darker fruit, perhaps, but entirely balanced with the structure. Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Nov 2024.
