A.F. Gros Echezeaux Grand Cru On the nose, the wine exhibits a complex bouquet that is both rich and elegant, with ripe red and black fruit notes that are balanced by delicate floral aromas and a subtle spiciness. The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied, silky texture that is both luxurious and refined. The wines tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing structure and depth without overwhelming the delicate fruit flavors. This wine has a long finish that lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of its complexity and depth. Critical Acclaim 96 Vinous The 2022 Grands-Echzeaux Grand Cru is the maiden vintage under the Anne Gros label, the parcel having previously been vinified by Bernard Gros (Gros Frre & Soeur) under a fermage. It has a very well-defined bouquet, dark berry fruit intermixed with crushed limestone and wilted rose petals, understated at first and only gradually gaining intensity. The medium-bodied palate has filigree tannins, tensile from the start, with a keen thread of acidity. It fans out wonderfully towards the finish with a saline aftertaste. Precision is the keyword here rather than power. Superb.
