Reviews & Awards

• Wine Spectator: 97 points
  "This red wine is silky, complex and very expressive. Delivers flavours of black cherry, blackberry, sandalwood, spicy oak and mineral notes, while the well-integrated structure provides support. Very harmonious and long."

• Wine Advocate (Robert Parker): 92–94 points
  "The 2019 Échezeaux En Orveaux Grand Cru is a success, with aromas of plums and berries, complemented by suggestions of orange peel, sweet earth tones, peonies and spices. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it is enveloping yet lively, with vibrant acidity and a precise finish."

• Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy: 93–96 points
  "One of the lighter colours, but still a full, attractive purple hue. White marl, without clay or stones. But there is a sweetness of fruit and a tension that holds it in place. Perhaps just a little less precision, less refinement than some years."
