Very sweet and charming without being at all heavy. Flirtatious. Strawberry. Still quite a bit of tannin. (JR)

Good bright, deep red. Superb precision to the aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry and Oriental spices. Intensely flavored and bracing, with terrific saline energy to the flavors of red berries, white pepper and blood orange. Showing more fruit intensity today than the Corton. Leaves the palate tingling on the long, vibrant aftertaste. A superb vintage for this cuvee. Aubert de Villaine noted that he vinified his 2010 reds with 60% to 80% whole clusters, with the higher percentage generally used for vines affected by millerandage.
NB vintage. Great tension. Lots of sumptuous fruit and convincing tension. Dried cherry notes. Sprightly finish. Very fresh. Slightly more acidity and crystalline structure in Échezeaux than Grands Échezeaux. Hint of orange peel! Admirably long. (JR)
