The 2009 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru is lush, radiant and super-expressive. Rose petal, blood orange, anise and cinnamon lend striking aromatic presence. Ample and generous with plenty of supporting structure, the 2009 Grands Echézeaux is stellar today, and so rewarding to drink now.
The 2009 Grands-Échézeaux is incredibly closed in on itself. A huge, intense wine, the 2009 possesses superb depth and density. Hints of red berry, tobacco and bramble open up in the glass, but only with great reluctance. This is a decidedly powerful, structured vintage for the Grands-Échézeaux, so patience is going to be the key.
The 2009 Grands-Echézeaux jumps from the glass with vivid aromatics and equally voluptuous fruit. Despite its richness, the Grands-Echézeaux seems to hover on the palate. Layers of fruit continue to build to the long super-refined finish. Over the last few years the Grands-Echézeaux seems like the most improved wine at DRC.
