2020 Domaine Dujac Echézeaux Grand Cru

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has closed down a little since bottling, but there remains attractive, brambly blackberry and raspberry fruit; those white pepper and ash-like scents emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite dense with a little more sappiness than it showed from barrel, albeit without the persistence of the Clos de la Roche.

Dramatic, even flamboyant, Dujac's 2020 Echezeaux Grand Cru bursts with rich aromas of plums, berries, exotic spices, rose petals and bergamot. Full-bodied, ample and expansive, its fleshy attack segues into a seamless, enveloping mid-palate, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.
