Vintage after vintage, we find the Gevrey "Aux Echezeaux" incredibly fascinating and compelling.
While Gevrey-Chambertin is known for its meatiness and power, "Aux Echezeaux" is surprisingly elegant. It is located at the southern end of the region, right next to Morey-St.-Denis, and produces wines that are silkier and more delicate. Along with its signature intricacy, the old vines that the wine is sourced from give it a haunting depth.
