2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru, Domaine du Clos Frantin

2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru, Domaine du Clos Frantin

Domaine du Clos Frantin owns a parcel in the Champs Traversins part of this vineyard, high on the hill, which is noted for its fine expression. This is a big and powerful rendition of Echézeaux with deep dark fruits, and support from new oak. This will need some time in the cellar.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a relatively light nose compared to the Clos de Vougeot, the whole bunch here nicely integrated, imparting a subtle white pepper and clove aroma. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, quite firm tannins, a light marine influence at play here with a nicely proportioned towards the finish that maybe just needs a little more tension.
