Tasting notes
The 2020 Echezeaux Grand Cru is perfumed and dramatic, soaring from the glass with scents of sweet red berries, cassis, exotic spices, rose petals, orange rind and smoke. Full-bodied, broad and layered, it's textural and enveloping, with a lavish core of fruit, striking depth at the core and a long, resonant finish. Framed by powdery tannins and succulent acids, it will offer a wide drinking window.

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru is the only cuvée with whole bunch, around 25% this year. It comes from two parcels that are always picked on the same day and matured in 60% new oak with a very light toasting. Brambly red fruit, wild hedgerow and briary on the nose that (again) blossoms with aeration whilst maintaining outstanding focus. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with a bit of sinew on the finish, a bit of grip. So give this 5-8 years in bottle.
