Tasting Notes
The 2020 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet with wild strawberry, cassis, wilted violets and touches of sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, extremely pure and velvety. There is enormous energy and animation in this Grand Cru, sappiness that draws you back in for another sip. This is the best Grands Echézeaux that Maume Chuerlin has crafted.

The wine is poured and displays a spectacularly dense imperial purple. The first nose suggests inky depths in a good way, there is so much more to come. And here it does come on the palate, a veritable wealth of noble dark fruit with a lifted finish, excellent acidity and more tannins than many of the wines. The volume of fruit deserves this structure, as it does the epithet Grands. Tasted: November 2021
