Domaine Faiveley
Échézeaux Grand Cru En Orveaux
The first records of Echezeaux date back to the end of the 13th century. The monks from the abbey of Citeaux were aware of the outstanding quality of this terroir and its wines and had traded certain parcels in order to acquire land in Echezeaux. Our parcel lies in one of the appellation’s sub-climats: “En Orveaux” lies on a slope close to the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “La Combe d’Orveau”.

"Spearmint and vanilla accents frame the cherry, blackberry, plum and stony mineral flavors in this dense, monolithic red. It's all pulled together by vibrant acidity, while beefy tannins ply the fresh, mouthwatering finish. Though this is disjointed now, the long aftertaste shows both its pedigree and potential."
