"With échezeaux, we find beautiful pinot robes, pure fruit supported by firm tannins and beautiful freshness." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2016) From a 30-acre parcel averaging 60 years of age, the Pinot Noir here presents complex aromas blending black fruit, sweet spices and a delicate touch of violet. A wine of great suavity that seduces both in its youth and with age.

Domaine René Bouvier
Echezeaux
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Bernard Bouvier is one of Marsannay's finest winemakers, showcasing the commune's rich heritage. A firm believer in infusion, which breaks with the heavy extractions Burgundy has known in the past, he likes full-bodied wines, good young and good old, harvesting when ripe and intervening as little as possible. He likes the emotional and tactile aspects that guide him in his choices. We'd like to point out the friendly welcome he receives at the domaine, his organic approach, a range of gevreys, marsannays and fixins at affordable prices and with great homogeneity. An address that does not disappoint, the wines are as close as possible to their terroir of origin, with the tactful vinification that characterizes the domaine's production.

Rated (2016 guide) 17.5/20 (Grand vin)
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
With the échezeaux, we find beautiful pinot colors, pure fruit supported by firm tannins and beautiful freshness.
About the domain :
This three-generation family estate boasts a rare heritage of old vines, with an average age of around 50 years. Bernard Bouvier, 52, signed his first vintage in 1986 and is one of a generation of winemakers who have brought new blood to Burgundy. After having, like many others, given in to the siren calls of modern, highly extracted wines, he has corrected course to produce finer cuvées. 2009 marks the transition to organic viticulture, and 2010 the start of the use of whole grapes, averaging 50% for all wines. More moderate use of new oak and more precise choices of ripeness have recently produced much more accomplished wines, rewarded last year with a first star. Organic certification was lost in 2016, but is again in the process of being approved.
