Tasting notes
The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru is a tad more exotic on the nose. Fig-tinged red fruit coheres nicely in the glass and gains complexity. It shrugs off the vintage's opulence with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, saturated dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and a pinch of sea salt. Complex, broad and long, this is a classy, long-term offering. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Aromas of wild berries, rose petals, exotic spices and sweet soil tones, framed by a deft touch of classy new oak, preface the 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru, a full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine that's deep and layered, with lively acids and ample reserves of ripe, chewy tannins. Concluding with a long, expansive finish, it's the fruit of a sharecropping agreement with Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg in lieu-dit Quartiers de Nuits.
Three barrels, one of which new. Cask sample. Absolutely cracking, with depth and ripeness. It’s red-fruited, with some generous but refined tannins. There’s real concentration and drive. Great energy. (MH)
