2013 Domaine Faiveley Ech̩zeaux Grand Cru

(aged in two-thirds new oak; this was 11.8% potential alcohol chaptalized to 12.8%): Medium red. Musky aromas of red fruits and animal fur. Sharply focused and pure if tightly coiled, showing terrific cut to its intense red berry flavors. A wine of moderate volume but terrific sappy digestibility. This youthfully taut, rather cool Ech̩zeaux (I might have picked it blind as coming from Chambolle-Musigny) will need considerable time in bottle to unwind. (ST)
