Tasting notes
The 2010 Grands-Echézeaux is weightless and impeccable. Subtlety and elegance are the backbone of this beautifully balanced Grands-Echézeaux. Dark cherries, blackberries, spices, licorice and tar all flow through effortlessly to the inviting, seamless finish. Despite its deceptively medium-bodied personality, the wine has plenty of depth, not to mention terrific overall balance.

The 2010 Grands-Echezeaux is weightless and impeccable. Subtlety and elegance are the backbone of this beautifully balanced Grands-Echezeaux. Dark cherries, blackberries, spices, licorice and tar all flow through effortlessly to the inviting, seamless finish. Despite its deceptively medium-bodied personality, the wine has plenty of depth, not to mention terrific overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. I tasted all of Bernard Gros’s 2010s from tank, where the wines were settling for the winter. As is his usual custom, Gros concentrated the wines 10-15%, and therefore did not feel the need to chaptalize any of his 2010s. He calls 2010 a good vintage for quality but not the wallet, as yields are down 30-40%. Importer: Atherton Imports, Menlo Park, CA; tel. (650) 328-6639
