Echezeaux les Loachausses 2024

Echezeaux Les Loachausses is produced in the Burgundy region of France, specifically within the Côte de Nuits subregion. The vineyard is located in the prestigious Grand Cru appellation of Echezeaux, known for its exceptional terroir and historic significance in Pinot Noir production.

This wine is made exclusively from the Pinot Noir grape variety, which is the traditional and dominant grape of the Burgundy region, especially in Grand Cru vineyards.

Anne Gros employs traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques emphasizing minimal intervention to express the unique terroir of the Echezeaux Les Loachausses vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open wooden vats. Aging typically occurs in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, for approximately 14 to 18 months to develop complexity and structure while preserving elegance.

Echezeaux Les Loachausses reveals a deep ruby color with garnet hues. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle floral notes and hints of earth, spice, and forest floor. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with refined tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish marked by complexity and finesse.

This wine pairs excellently with:

• Roasted or grilled red meats such as beef or lamb
• Game dishes including venison or duck
• Mushroom-based dishes and truffle-infused cuisine
• Rich poultry dishes with herbs
• Aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère
