Note di degustazione
(from vines at the top of the hill, where frost was not an issue): Saturated ruby-red. Very ripe, inviting aromas of black raspberry, chocolate and menthol Sweet and lush but with surprising acidity giving the wine a penetrating character; a piquant note of blood orange reinforces the impression of clarity while leavening the wine's density. Thick but youthfully imploded wine with a palate-saturating, rising finish featuring a juicy note of tart cherry stomp. A superb Echézeaux in the making.

The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru was not touched by the frost this season. It has a very composed and well-defined bouquet with vibrant red and black fruit. I like the focus and cohesion here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple but fine tannin, finely structured and precise with great purity and superb freshness on the finish. This has 10% stems, but you cannot tell at all, and you are left with the impression that this is really a top-notch Echézeaux that is destined to give 15 to 20 years pleasure (if allowed).
