Domaine Jean Grivot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2022 Fernand Girard Chateau de Chaintres Saumur-Champigny LesWith its ripe, deep, plummy fruit, floral notes and abundant spice accents, the 2022 Echzeaux from Grivot is among the top wines in this cellar. The texture is rich and velvety; the finish stretches on for minutes. The grapes are from a 0. 84 hectare parcel in Cruots planted in 1954. Grivot destems the grapes and ferments gently, with more pumping exclusively after the beginning of fermentation. This vintage will begin to open in five to seven years
