The 2012 Echezeaux Grand Cru actually has a similar nose compared to the Les Gaudichots ’12, with subtle scents of vine tomato and red cherries. The palate has a sweet entry, though I found the oak a little conspicuous when compared to the subtler aforementioned premier cru. Consequently, the finish is missing a little bluntness. Drink 2016-2024. Located in the heart of Vosne, adjacent to the original Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, lies Domaine Regis Forey. Regis’ great-grandfather by the same name founded the domaine in 1840 and the current Regis at the helm took over the 4.5 hectares of vineyard in 1987. In my experience, the wines have been traditionally made, but generally well-crafted. He also is one of the handful of producers who make a Les Gaudichots from a parcel of vines planted in 1930. These samples had been in bottle for one month. (Readers should note that a retrospective of Forey’s wines is in the pipeline.) Importer: Neal Rosenthal, New York, NY; www.madrose.com
