Domaine Faiveley, Echezeaux En Orveaux Grand Cru 2016

vinous93

Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer

(the crop level here was reportedly barely ten hectoliters per hectare): Deep red-ruby. Purple fruits and pepper on the refined but very reticent nose. Very dry and firm, with its boysenberry, blackberry and spice flavors showing modest flesh. Finishes with substantial tongue-coating tannins. One can clearly appreciate the terroir here--and it's a distinctly Chambolle style of Echézeaux--but will this savory wine ever really expand and gain in pliancy?
