Note di degustazione
The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a burly, powerful nose that lacks the grace of the best wines in the flight. The bouquet offers blackberries, raspberries and a touch of cold black tea, though something keeps drawing me back, perhaps a subtle briny element. The palate is well-balanced, with more black fruit than others and touches of graphite and black pepper. Structured and assertive, it retains balance and freshness with sufficient sapidity to keep you hooked. That said, this bottle doesn't match the potential shown in barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet with wild strawberry, cassis, wilted violets and touches of sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, extremely pure and velvety. There is enormous energy and animation in this Grand Cru, sappiness that draws you back in for another sip. This is the best Grands Echézeaux that Maume Chuerlin has crafted.
The wine is poured and displays a spectacularly dense imperial purple. The first nose suggests inky depths in a good way, there is so much more to come. And here it does come on the palate, a veritable wealth of noble dark fruit with a lifted finish, excellent acidity and more tannins than many of the wines. The volume of fruit deserves this structure, as it does the epithet Grands. Tasted: November 2021
