Description
What kind of wine it is
The Échezeaux Grand Cru Cuvée Les Loachausses from Domaine Anne Gros is a refined red wine from Burgundy, made from Pinot Noir grapes. It stands out for its well-balanced medium body and fine-grained tannins, which provide a pleasant smoothness on the palate. The aromatic profile reveals clear notes of cherry and plum, enriched by delicate spicy nuances and subtle hints of liquorice. Its precise structure makes this red an ideal accompaniment for robust first courses, game, lamb dishes and mature cheeses, ensuring a high-class tasting experience.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Burgundy, in the area of Vosne-Romanée. The expression of the prestigious Échezeaux Grand Cru appellation is deeply linked to the specific Les Loachausses plot. The vines take root in limestone soils, characterised by a rich presence of stones and fossil materials. This complex geological composition shapes the character of the wine, imparting a dry gustatory tension and measured tannic support. The terroir delivers a concentrated and composed glass, capable of maintaining strict harmony in every sip.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with a rigorous manual harvest. Fermentation is carried out entirely by indigenous yeasts in concrete vats, a choice aimed at preserving the utmost aromatic purity of the fruit. During maceration, colour and structural matter are carefully extracted. Ageing takes place in new barrels for around sixteen months, a crucial phase that consolidates the depth of flavour and defines the spicy nuances. The result is a wine with a consistent and technical profile, widely recognised and acclaimed by international critics.
