The Echezeaux Grand Cru 2015 has a dark ruby colour. It reveals a nose with moka, coffee and amaretto hints. In the mouth it is round and full, with tastes of red crunchy fruits, undergrowth after a summer storm and grilled notes. Tannins are present and mellow. This wine is frank, very elegant with a wonderful persistance.
