Only 6 bottles shipped. It is great to have this Grand Cru back in our allocation. Leroux’s wine now comes from En Orveaux, a five-hectare climat bordering Chambolle. This is one of Echézeaux’s coolest sites, thanks to its exposure to the winds funneling down the Combe d’Orveau. On the upper slope above Clos de Vougeot and Grands Echezeaux, there is very little topsoil before the vines hit the hard limestone (similar to that found in Premeaux), and as a result, the wines offer tremendous finesse, perfume and texture, as well as a cool, vibrant finish. This was the only Grand Cru produced in 2024 from the Côte de Nuits, and only two barrels were made. It’s obviously very young, has excellent density and will benefit enormously from time or decanting.

Reviews

“No more than medium deep crimson purple. The oak shows quite a lot on the nose just at the moment. More than adequate fruit weight, indeed more in density than laciness, but that is partly the oak speaking. A lively and lifted little red fruit finish. Drink from 2030-2038.”
92-95 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“The 2024 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet with pure redcurrant and wild cherry fruit, wilted rose petals and crushed stone. The palate is very well balanced with satin-textured tannins, impressive depth and a poised finish. Leroux only made one Côte de Nuits Grand Cru in 2024 - but it's a great one.”
