The 2023 vintage at Domaine Michel Gros reflects a straightforward growing season, yielding wines of remarkable clarity and finesse. The fruit was healthy and uncomplicated, and the resulting wines benefit from soft tannins, making them accessible in youth while promising the capacity for graceful ageing.
"From vines replanted in 1995, this wine exhibits deep, brooding notes of cherries and blackberries. Its muscular tannins are finely integrated, lending a layered and intellectual quality to the wine. A symphony of spiciness, richness, and elegance, it is a beautifully crafted Grand Cru with profound ageing potential."
Our note
This vintage exemplifies the domaine’s hallmark of precision and balance, with each cuvée offering a distinct reflection of its terroir and thoughtful vinification practices.
What the critics say:
"The 2023 Échezeaux Les Loächausses Grand Cru (good luck pronouncing the lieu-dit!) is matured entirely in new oak. The wood does cover the terroir so that it is difficult to discern the vineyard in question. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a creamy texture. Fair dues, the oak is more assimilated on the finish than on the nose. Give it several years in bottle."
