Allen Meadows, Burghound

(from a .99 ha parcel in Champs Traversin). A notably ripe and very spicy nose combines notes of cassis, blue berry, violet and sandalwood. The seductive and velvet-textured middle weight flavors possess both good volume and plenty of sappy dry extract that mostly buffers the firm tannic spine shaping the better balanced if youthfully austere finish. This is not particularly reserved though it will still need at least a few years of patience first.

Located between Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée, the commune of Flagey-Echezeaux boasts exclusively the two Grands Crus "Grands-Echezeaux" and "Echezeaux". Their name derives from "chesaux", a word of Gallo-Roman origin meaning a group of dwellings, presumably referring to an ancient hamlet.
Our plot is located in the "Champs Traversins" Climat, facing east, at an altitude of 300 metres. The slope, a considerable proportion of sand and gravel, the proximity of the Orveau combe -which brings frechness-, all contribute to imparting unique elegance and sophistication to this wine.
