Note di degustazione
The 2016 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru has a similar nose to Tremblay’s Echézeaux tasted alongside. Raspberry and crushed strawberry at first, autumn leaves and attractive wilted rose petal aromas following suit. Fine delineation and nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red berry fruit, fine tannin, plenty of spice and a subtle garrigues-like/Provençal note towards the harmonious finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

(just a single 350-liter barrel made in 2016; Drouhin can make six pièces in a good year, according to winemaker Faure-Brac): Healthy dark red. Much more interesting on the nose than the Clos Vougeot, with aromas of raspberry, flowers, spices and medicinal menthol joined by riper notes of chocolate and mirabelle . Plush, ripe and sweet on the attack, offering a refined texture but suggesting a wide range of ripeness with its notes of prune, spices, mint and menthol. Finishes with serious, late-arriving tannins and a saline mineral quality that piques the taste buds. Still a bit disjointed, this wine will need patience to take its ultimate shape.
