The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a decadent bouquet of red cherry and cranberry aromas, touches of pain d’épices and a hint of menthol emerging with time. But somehow it manages to retain control. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, slightly chalky tannins, good depth and a gentle grip toward the focused finish. This should age extremely well. (Drink between 2023-2045)
The 2018 Fourrier Echézeaux is again, a strong and nicely soil-driven example of the vintage and seems a bit less jammy in personality than some of the domaine bottlings. The bouquet is black fruity, offering up a mix of sweet dark berries, cassis, bitter chocolate, gamebird, dark soil tones, vanillin oak and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off good mid-palate depth, with fine focus and grip, ripe tannins and a long, soil-driven and youthfully complex finish. Good juice. (Drink between 2031-2075)
