The Echézeaux from Mugneret-Gibourg is superb. There is a lovely concentration of ripe mulberry and black plum fruit with hints of peony, pepper, and earth. The texture is initially dense and velvety, but as the wine lingers moreishly on the palate it is obvious that there are substantial tannins that bode well for ageing. The grapes are from three-quarters of a hectare in Rouges de Bas and Quartier de Nuit; they are fermented with 12% whole clusters (since 2016), which Marie-Andrée feels accounts for the floral element in the wine.
