2018 Echezeaux La Grande Complication

Matured in 300-liter barrels made from oak that Mongeard selects and seasons himself, the 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru La Grande Complication wafts from the glass with lovely aromas of cherries, raspberries, orange rind, peonies and warm spices. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, it's deep and concentrated, with powdery tannins and a long, penetrating finish. This special cuvée derives from vines planted in 1945 with the family's massal selections, located in the lieu-dit of Les Treux.
