Tasting notes
Deep red. Brooding dark fruits on the bound-up nose. Concentrated but ungiving today, with blackberry and black cherry flavors wound tight by the wine's firm spine of acids and dusty tannins. This very backward Grands-Echézeaux could hardly be more different from the much sweeter Echézeaux, and it's difficult to believe that it will ever equal that wine in quality.

The 2013 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru has more fruit intensity on the nose than its little brother, although not quite the same endearing delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good depth, a touch of dried blood infusing the red berry fruit with commendable precision on the long finish. Everything seems to be held back at the moment, so give it several years in bottle.

About the producer
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.
