Echezeaux Les Loachausses Grand Cru 2021 - Domaine Anne Gros

Échezeaux “Les Loachausses” Grand Cru 2021 — Domaine Anne Gros

The Échezeaux “Les Loachausses” Grand Cru 2021 from Domaine Anne Gros is a distinguished Côte de Nuits bottle from one of Burgundy’s most admired Grand Cru climats. Anne Gros delivers a refined expression of Pinot Noir, true to her style: precision, pure fruit, silky texture and natural elegance rather than overt power.

In the 2021 vintage, this Échezeaux favours finesse, energy and aromatic definition. The wine evokes black cherry, morello cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, violet, sweet spice, fine pepper and a touch of noble earth. The palate is lifted, delicate and persistent, with fine tannins, a satin-like texture and a long, fresh, subtly spicy finish.

Les Loachausses, a refined expression of Échezeaux

The lieu-dit Les Loachausses forms part of the Échezeaux Grand Cru, one of the most prestigious names in Flagey-Échezeaux. This terroir often gives wines where Grand Cru depth is expressed through supple texture, floral detail and beautifully precise fruit.

At Domaine Anne Gros, Échezeaux stands out for its clear and elegant reading of Pinot Noir: measured extraction, precise ageing and a strong sense of balance. The wine does not seek immediate opulence; it seduces through perfume, grace, fine structure and the silky feel that defines great red Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits.

Tasting notes

The 2021 vintage and serving advice

The 2021 vintage in red Burgundy produced wines that are more classical, fresh and finely cut than the very solar years. For a Grand Cru such as Échezeaux, this freshness highlights perfume, delicate texture and precise terroir expression.

This bottle has excellent ageing potential and can be cellared for several years. For drinking today, open it in advance and allow gradual aeration in the glass. Serve at around 15 to 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to preserve the finesse of the fruit, the floral character and the silky texture.
