Matured in 300-liter barrels made from oak that Mongeard selects and seasons himself, the 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru La Grande Complication wafts from the glass with lovely aromas of cherries, raspberries, orange rind, peonies and warm spices. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, it's deep and concentrated, with powdery tannins and a long, penetrating finish. This special cuvée derives from vines planted in 1945 with the family's massal selections, located in the lieu-dit of Les Treux.
This communal appellation covers the vineyards of Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux, Comblanchien, and Corgoloin. Spread along the length of the Cotes de Nuits the wines of the different communes are, unsurprisingly, varied, reflecting a range of different exposures and nuances of soild type. The vast majority of production is red, with just a smattering of Chardonnay grown. The reds can offer very good value from the better producers.
