Tasting notes
The 2009 Echezeaux flows across the palate with layers of gracious, elegant fruit. It is a supremely silky wine with plenty of intensity but no heaviness whatsoever. This is classy and refined all the way. Meo’s parcel is in Le Rouge du Bas. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034. Jean-Nicolas Meo began harvesting on September 12. He did 17-18 days of cuvaison and did one racking before the wines were prepared for bottling. I was not able to taste a handful of wines that were racked just before my visit, including the Cros Parantoux. Meo is among the growers who believe the 2009s will age well on their depth of fruit.

Good full red. Knockout highly nuanced nose combines smoky red fruits, flint, spices and white pepper. Silky, elegant and seamless but at the same time juicy and delineated. This highly concentrated wine boasts outstanding inner-mouth perfume. Really spreads out on the back to saturate the palate, offering a wonderful combination of ripeness and freshness. A superb Echezeaux in the making.
