(from a .94 ha holding). Moderate wood stops short of being invasive on the ripe and fresh aromas that include red currant, cherry, violet and a beautiful array of spice elements. The succulent, rich and once again generously proportioned medium weight flavors possess a seductive mouthfeel while exhibiting fine length on the dusty, firm and balanced finale that could use better depth so at least a few years of keeping are advised.

The 2023 Echézeaux Les Loachausses Grand Cru has a light and understated bouquet, a little tertiary in style, with touches of dried flowers coming through with time. The palate is taut and fresh, classic in style with a dash of white pepper and bay leaf. It just dips a little toward the finish, where I am seeking more structure and grip. Drinking range: 2027 - 2038 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2025)

The Echézeaux from Anne Gros is among the best in the appellation in 2023, with lovely red and black fruit aromas touched with earth and spice and a firm mineral underpinning. The texture is firmly tannic, almost massive, and the finish is satisfyingly long. This wine is produced from 0.35 hectares in Loachausses, although this will not be noted on the label. There have been some adjustments in the Gros family holdings here between Anne and her cousins, but she has done admirably well with the portion that remains to her.

Domaine Anne Gros

Anne Gros joined her father François at the family domaine in Vosne Romanée in 1988, having given up her arts studies in favour of viticulture and oenology at Beaune and Dijon, and has run the domaine alone since 1995. The Domaine now has 6.5 hectares of Pinot and Chardonnay. Anne describes herself as being 'wary of certainties and keen to preserve her freedom'.

In the vineyards Anne practises viticulture influenced by organic and biodynamic principles, and the vineyards are ploughed and fertilised with compost, but although she believes that the long-term health of the vineyards are best preserved by such methods, she likes to maintain the freedom to use conventional treatments when necessary.

In the cellar, the wines are classically made, in cement tanks for the reds, and stainless steel for the whites. They are then are aged in barrel for up to fifteen months, with 80% new wood for the grand crus, 50% for the village wines and 30% for the regional wines. Anne is quietly meticulous and almost obsessive about cleanliness in her cellar, which perhaps is reflected in the delicacy and restrained tension in her wines, which have aromatic clarity, limpid precision, sheer joie de vivre, lively balance and persistence.
