Description
"We currently own 0.83 ha, lying high up between Domaine Prieur’s Musigny and our parcel of Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Combe d’Orveau. Ideally positioned in the ‘En Orveaux’ sub-climate, our vines thrive on a southern exposure, producing a generous, sun-drenched yet lightly coloured wine due to the low clay content of the soil. Profoundly shaped by its sloping terroir, with its shallow marl soils sensitive to frost and drought, our Echezeaux fully reveals its splendour in wet years, as the vintage plays a significant role in defining its character." - Winemaker Notes
"Moderate reduction dominates the underlying fruit today. Otherwise, there is better volume and density to the medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by admirably fine-grained tannins on the balanced and impressively persistent finale. This is an Echézeaux of finesse and refinement." - 91-94 points, Allen Meadows
"The 2023 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru comes from a parcel close to the lieu-dit of Petit Musigny on marl soils. This is very composed on the nose with delineated berry fruit, loam and forest floor scents. It's certainly one of the more understated Echézeaux. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit. It is quite energetic, with a fine bead of acidity and a sense of brightness on the finish that is very appealing. This is another 2023 from Faiveley whose charms reveal themselves gradually in the glass." - 92-94 points, Neal Martin
"Cask sample. Really rather a pale ruby-garnet. Mild nose and sweetness with a hint of oak still. Juicy, quite evolved fruit. Can it be worth a grand cru price?" - 16.5/20, Jancis Robinson
