Lachaux lost half of his crop in this vineyard to frost, but the 2016 Echezeaux Grand Cru is superb, offering up a deep bouquet of wild berries, orange rind and mossy soil. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and expansive, with a firm, tight-knit core, excellent concentration and a rich chassis of structuring tannin, underpinned by vibrant acids. This will need and reward time, but it's one of the finest renditions of this site to date from Charles Lachaux.
An elegant, ripe and relatively airy nose fuses notes of spice and dried flowers with those of essence of red currant, cherry and a hint of wood. I very much like the mouthfeel of the strikingly complex middle weight plus flavors that flash evident minerality on the beautifully persistent and well-balanced finale. This seductive yet serious Ech should be excellent in time.
