This beautifully perfumed wine shows structure, dark tannins as well as great charm. The acidity is layered with black fruits and dry tannins. Age for 7–8 years or more.

Domaine Jayer-Gilles 2006 Echézeaux du Dessus Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
-
$300
Here is an ageworthy wine, a proper grand cru. The spice from the wood is the dominant factor to begin with, and this needs more time to integrate. But already, the fruit is impressively ripe and jammy, a fruit salad of black and red berry fruits. The tannins are dark, brooding away in the background. Keep this wine at least five years, probably 10.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2006 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
-
$400
Smoky, rich, this wine packs a powerful punch of vibrant black cherry fruits, and generous sweet tannins. It is big, muscular, the structure wide and open. It shows richness and opulence, brought into line by a firm, youthful structure that needs five years or more to age.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2004 Echezeaux Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
-
$195
All the dark, brooding, intense character of Echezeaux is here. It is a magnificent wine, packed with sweet fruit, bold strokes of flavor, a stream of tannin and red fruit acidity at the end. It should age well, and long. Imported by Henriot, Inc.

Domaine Jacques Prieur 2009 Echézeaux Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
-
$370
A structured wine, with great density of fruit, richness of texture and at the same time acidity. Its black fruit and red berry flavors are pure and very linear while also giving the wine a full-bodied character.

A huge, rich wine that is full of very ripe tannins and opulent black fruits. A powerful statement of ripe Pinot Noir, which is dark and brooding but still very seductive.

Chanson Père et Fils 2004 Echezeaux Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
The class of the grands crus of Vosne-Romanée, such as Echezeaux, is well expressed in this beautifully crafted wine. The hand of master wine consultant, Jean-Pierre Confuron, is obvious in the pure fruits, the ripeness and the richness, along with the proper tannin structure. Another example of the way Chanson has found a new future for itself.
