South of the village, planted in 1928 just below Mazoyères towards Morey, and a vineyard from his mother. Between Charmes-Chambertin and Aux Cheseaux premier cru (in Morey). Planted at 12,000 vines/ha. Seems more Chambolle in the way it is scented with red fruit. Very floral - roses not violets - and charming, tea leaves. Roses all the way. Succulent and gorgeous. Finest of tannins and great freshness. Was once premier but later declassified. (JH) Drink 2020-2027.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echézeaux has a gorgeous bouquet with red cherry and cranberry fruit mixed with subtle sous-bois notes, becoming more floral with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit on the entry, a light marine influence emerging to the finish that needs a little more cohesion. That should come with bottle age.
