Note di degustazione
Saturated bright, medium red-ruby; dark for the vintage. Deep, brooding aromas of blueberry, dark cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate convey an impression of coolness. Densely packed and a bit youthfully medicinal, with blackberry and blueberry fruit flavors that are darker and a bit higher-toned than those of the Faiveley and Bouchard examples from en Orveaux, which I tasted alongside this wine. Strong tongue-dusting tannins avoid dryness but will need time to harmonize with the wine's youthfully medicinal fruit. Still very young and unevolved, but has the thickness of texture and density to reward cellaring.

The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a crisp, undergrowth-tinged bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and faint sea-spray scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, sorbet-fresh red fruit, a little savoriness here, nice depth if needing a little more finesse to develop on the finish. Perhaps just curtailed by the growing season? At the moment, both the Gaudichot and Les Malconsorts outplay this grand cru.
(from en Orveaux): Healthy dark red. Reticent, rather cool aromas of blueberry, cassis and flowers, complicated by smoky and floral nuances. Highly concentrated and cool on the palate, with penetrating acidity and a slight medicinal quality giving the dark berry and mint flavors a decidedly imploded character. Finishes sappy, gripping and very long, with excellent lift. This is still an infant today.
