Note di degustazione
(50% of a normal crop, from vines in Les Rouges du Bas): Bright full red. Aromas of raspberry, flint, menthol and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Very concentrated, tightly wound wine with terrific cut and herbal/mineral lift. Conveys an almost late-harvest dried-fruit nuance but at the same time penetrating and not particularly fleshy, showing a minty quality. Best today on the floral, slowly rising finish, which features firm but very suave tannins. This grand cru is going to take a long time to reach full maturity. (Jadot did not make a Grands-Echézeaux in 2016.)

The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which unlike the Clos Vougeot was severely hit by the frost, was missing some fruité on the nose, stubborn and rather withdrawn. The palate is medium-bodied with broad tannin, good acidity but there is sense that the frost denuded this grand cru of its nobility, thus the finish feels rather smudged and monotone. I found this disappointing because of what happened in the vineyard rather than any winemaking fault.
Informazioni sul produttore
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
