Note di degustazione
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru contains 90% whole cluster, and that shows through on the nose, which actually reminds me of a Dujac. It is well defined with cracked black pepper and touches of brine - the one cru from Mugneret sporting a distinctive marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with quite thick tannins on the entry. An ambitious, dense Echézeaux with grip and girth toward the finish. It deserves five or six years just to soften its edges.

90% whole bunch. Barrel sample. Deep smudgy crimson. Deep in cherry fruit, richly fruited rather than lightly scented. Spicy and powerful with a hint of oak char. Powerful, dense but with such fresh fruit, the whole-bunch component adding a lift on the finish. Firm, smooth tannins. Gets more and more fragrant in the glass. Spicy, and has the texture and dry finish of dark chocolate. (JH)
