Domaine A.-F. Gros, Echezeaux Grand Cru 2019

From Champs Traversins. This cuvée has been made with 40% whole bunches since 2014 (except 2016). 3 new barrels and one older feuillette. Good vibrant colour, an attractive depth of fruit here, with those little lacy nibbles partly from the stems and partly the vineyard. This actually has really impressive weight of fruit, perhaps because the original vines are now over 90 years old. Tiny concentrated berries. I am impressed! Dainty, but structured and with power and persistence. Tasted: October 2019
