Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has quite a bold and assertive nose, blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of melted tar and tobacco, maybe just lacking a bit of focus at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-tuned tannins, oddly coming across like a fine Pinot from the Southern Hemisphere (Hemel-en-Aard or Martinborough). Very good persistency here, though it just needs more panache. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2048
