2006 Domaine d'Eugénie Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru

The most elegant and refined wine in the range with a seductively and dense fruit nose of black berry and cassis notes nuanced by hints of clove, hoisin and anise that merge seamlessly into supple, detailed and admirably pure mineral-infused flavors that are surprisingly fine on the wonderfully long finish. This does not appear to be quite as deep as the Clos de Vougeot though it's certainly close and overall, this is a wine of harmony and balance.
