Nicole Lamarche Echezeaux Grand Cru 2010

Domaine Nicole Lamarche Echezeaux Grand Cru 2010
The 2010 Echezeaux from Nicole Lamarche is a wine of haunting finesse and slow-burning complexity. From old vines in Les Champs Traversins, it delivers a lifted aromatic spectrum-rose petal, black cherry, sous-bois woven into a framework of ultra-fine tannins and mineral clarity. A Grand Cru of quiet authority, aged to a point where nuance takes centre stage.
