Note di degustazione
An attractive compote of red fruits makes up the aromas of the 2000 Echezeaux. This lively, cherry-flavored offering has excellent concentration, and a firmly structured yet ripe character. It should be consumed over the next 6-7 years. According to Philippe Prost, this large negociant’s winemaker, “the 2000 reds had very thin skins, and the sanitary conditions were not very good, in fact we battled rot more and more as we approached harvest.” The firm’s director, Bernard Hervet, stated that “the vintage gets better as you move north through the Cote d’Or, we had lots of trouble in Maranges and Chassagne-Montrachet, for example. Overall, using your method of rating vintages, I’d score the 2000 reds a 92+.” My impression differed from Hervet’s, as I found most of the firm’s 2000s hard, astringent, and lacking in fruit. They did produce a few delicious wines, as the tasting notes indicate. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575

Wonderfully complex nose of spice, black fruits and damp earth followed by angular yet beautifully detailed flavors that offer real depth and length though the finish is slightly drying. I really admire the complexity but this comes across as a touch skinny for the structure and it will clearly require a few years to round out. Allen Meadows, Burghound. Apr01,2002

Full medium red. Smoky red fruits, tobacco and leather on the nose. Suave and smooth but shows less clarity and thrust, not to mention flavor development, than the Reignots. Seems less thoroughly ripe. Rather closed on the finish, where the tannins are slightly dry.
