Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 92/100
Rouget's Echézeaux 2006 wine evidences relatively little development since my initial barrel review as the spicy and complex nose remains completely primary and the medium full but restrained flavors deliver excellent volume and really lovely depth on the long and deceptively structured finish as the tannins are not only finer than usual but especially well integrated. Tasted twice with consistent notes. (allen_meadows, burghound_com.com - Dec 2011)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
