A distinctly spicy and very ripe nose reflects notes of Asian-style tea, black cherry, cassis and floral hints. The sleek, intense and concentrated big-bodied flavors possess a velvety mouthfeel thanks to the copious amounts of dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine that makes its presence felt on the hugely persistent finish. This isn't quite as powerful or structured as the Clos de Vougeot but it is more complex. Impressive. Note: from a .06 ha parcel in Les Treux and another of the same size in Quartiers de Nuits; 60% whole cluster vinification
The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru is matured in 50% new oak and with around 50% whole bunch. It has an outstanding, stony, mineral-driven bouquet that is beautifully defined and yet still very intense: raspberry, wild strawberry and a hint of cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, hints of brown spice and cola, the whole bunch component lending the finish a slightly grainy texture and a gentle grip. There is tons of personality here, an Echézeaux with something to say. Superb.
