Tasting notes
The 2021 Echezeaux Grand Cru is powerful yet not fully developed. There's good energy throughout, that much is evident, but the mid-palate needs to fill out a bit more. It will be interesting to see if that happens in bottle, as the wine I tasted was at the end of its elevage in barrel. Dark red fruit, gravel, spice, leather and game lend quite a bit of darkness to this Echezeaux, which emerges from a parcel in La Combe d'Orveau. - Antonio Galloni

The 2021 Echezeaux Grand Cru is also rather firm and serious, unfurling to reveal attractive aromas of plums, sweet berries, orange rind, spices and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and expansive palate framed by powdery but youthfully assertive tannins.
About the producer
