Tasting notes
The 2020 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru has a touch of cough candy on the nose, though it complements rather than defines the aromatics scene. There is plenty of red fruit here, well-defined with just a touch of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannins, commendable tension and mineralité . This builds in the mouth without losing control, delivering plenty of sapid black fruit towards the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru includes three-quarters whole cluster fruit. It has a beautifully-defined bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, wilted rose petals, incredibly precise and focused. The palate has an unerring symmetry, a fine bead of acidity, precise and crisp, the whole bunch seamlessly integrated with an assiduous sprinkling of white pepper on the finish. This magnificent Grands Echézeaux is very persistent in the mouth and it should be afforded around a decade in bottle to witness it at full flight. Magnificent.
