Echézeaux, Domaine d'Eugénie 2011

Tasting Notes

An exceptionally spicy nose of very fresh black pinot fruit, cassis and discreet earthy nuances is trimmed in moderate wood. There is a wonderful purity to the middle weight flavors that also possess admirably fine-grained tannins on the seductively textured and impressively persistent finish that really fans out as it rests on the palate. This is a very solid effort in the context of the vintage. Drink 2023+

An exceptionally spicy nose of very fresh black pinot fruit, cassis and discreet earthy nuances gives way to wonderfully pure middle weight flavors that also possess admirably fine-grained tannins on the seductively textured and impressively persistent finish. Like the Brûlées this is not as complex at present as my predicted range suggests that it might be in time. In sum, the overall impression here is consistent with what one would expect from an Echézeaux coming from En Orveaux, which is to say a wine of finesse and refinement.
