Tasting notes
(from Les Treux and Les Quartiers de Nuits; 50% vendange entier ; 50% new oak): Medium ruby. A bit less unrelievedly black on the nose than most of these 2015s, offering scents of raspberry, flowers, spices and musky smoky oak. Suave, sweet and fine-grained; a very supple, unforced grand cru with considerable chocolatey ripeness. Still a bit reduced but this wine already makes the Clos Vougeot look a bit muscular and foursquare by comparison. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and suave, lingering fruit.

The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru is matured in 50% new oak and with around 50% whole bunch. It has an outstanding, stony, mineral-driven bouquet that is beautifully defined and yet still very intense: raspberry, wild strawberry and a hint of cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, hints of brown spice and cola, the whole bunch component lending the finish a slightly grainy texture and a gentle grip. There is tons of personality here, an Echézeaux with something to say. Superb.
