Tasting notes
Unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, mulberries and summer fruit compote mingled with sweet spices and dark chocolate, the 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is full-bodied, ample and seamless, with a suave, enveloping profile, succulent acids and a long, saline finish. It certainly has fleshed out nicely since I last encountered it in barrel.

The 2020 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru has a nicely-detailed bouquet: mulberry, crushed stone, rose petal and light bergamot aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh with a slightly chalky-textured but quite persistent finish. I admire the tension here and the length - a noble G.E.

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
