Magnien Gevrey Chambertin Aux Echezeaux
£64.00
Taste
Rich cherry fruit, Savoury and earthy
Aroma
Dark cherry, Earthy violets and liquorice
Description
The famous commune of Gevrey Chambertin sits some 15km south of Dijon in Burgundy. Classic Gevrey Chambertin is typically deeper in colour, firmer in body and more tannic in structure than most Burgundy reds. The best can develop into the richest, most complete and long-lived Pinot Noirs in the world. This is largely thanks to the iron-rich clay soils. Frederic Magnien’s Aux Echezeaux has a broad rich palate that’s deliciously meaty with black fruit flavours. Consistently over the years, Frederic has reduced both the amount of time the wine spends in oak along with the percentage, and in doing so he has allowed the fruit to sing. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Perfect
Burgundy can be hit and miss, but this is a great wine, and perfect to drink now. Lovely a soft, with a bit of body.
