The vineyard of Echezeaux Grand Cru is divided into 2 plots located for 80% in the climat 'Echezeaux Du-Dessus' planted in 1922 and 20% in the climat 'Quartiers de Nuits' planted in 1945.  Deep red colour with purple tints. Expressive and delicate nose dominated by mature fruit's aromas: cherries, plums. Foral notes of violet are enhanced by a spicy touch. The fruitiness is dazzling. Perfect balance between power and roundness. The finish is long with a bit of saltiness.

Tightly wound and dense, this red isn't revealing much today other than plenty of black cherry, blackberry and dark plum flavors packed into an elegant frame. Features violet, vanilla and toasty oak elements, which add depth as this cruises to a lingering, bitter chocolate finish. Shows fine freshness and harmony. Best from 2026 through 2045. 336 cases made, 35 cases imported. - 95 - Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator
