Note di degustazione
Good bright, deep red. Complex, subtle aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and graphite minerality, plus some sexy oak tones. Ripe and silky, even plump for the year, but classically dry and light on its feet. Saturates the mouth and cheeks without leaving any impression of heaviness. At this point in my tasting, Marie-Christine Mugneret noted that these 2013s had been uncorked the previous evening. They are showing spectacularly now and I suspect they benefited dramatically from aeration. Finishes with very suave, even tannins and a suggestion of minty lift. Very classy juice.

(production was off 50% here, in large part due to an outbreak of caterpillars that ate the young buds during spring; a 50/50 blend of the climats Les Rouges du Bas and Les Quartiers de Nuits): Full bright, dark red. Sexy, musky, soil-driven aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, plum, coffee and earthy spices. Rich, round and sweet; on entry, this tastes like it's from another vintage. A high-wire act of sucrosité and fresh acidity, displaying excellent natural concentration to the flavors of dark berries, licorice and minerals. Very ripe and full without any excess weight. Finishes long and pure, with noble, fine-grained tannins. Production here was just 15 hectoliters per hectare, according to Marie-Christine Mugneret.
The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which comes from two parcels in the lieux-dits “Les Rouges du Bas” (70-year-old vines on métayage from Fabrice Vigot) and “Quartiers du Nuits” (on métayage with Pascal Mugneret) has a seductive bouquet in the same vein as the Nuits Chaignots with very pure dark cherries, bergamot and mineral scents. The palate is rounded in the mouth with very good weight. It does not quite have the delineation or complexity of the 2012 at the moment, but there is a lovely caressing finish. This will be giving pleasure earlier than the other crus, but it should still age well.
