Domaine Gérard Julien Echezeaux Grand Cru 2022
$780.00
Description
From a .24 ha holding in Les Treux; vinified with 40% whole clusters.
‘Half new wood and 40% whole bunch. Bright ruby purple. Little bouquet as yet, and the samples are cold. At the moment the density of the wine shows more than the subtlety, though I think that the detail is certainly there. More in red fruit than black. This may just be at too early a stage and there could be further upside to the Echezeaux. Drink from 2032-2038.’
92-95 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, Nov 2023
‘A moderately toasty and fresh nose reflects more deeply pitched liqueur-like aromas of plum, dark cherry, spice and a wisp of mocha. There is both better volume and mid-palate density to the vibrant medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mouthfeel that carries over to the superbly long, moderately austere and impeccably well-balanced finale. Good stuff that is at once refined and powerful.’
91-94 points, Allen Meadow’s Burghound, Jan 2024
