2020 Echezeaux
Buying options
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 Echezeaux Grand Cru was quite closed on the nose, backward and rather sultry, black fruit mixed with incense and seaweed emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, quite fleshy and harmonious, with a velvety smooth finish. Quite seductive.
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.
