Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 92-95/100
A wonderfully expressive and broad-ranging nose displays notes of black cherry and raspberry coulis, spice, violet and sandalwood. The exceptionally rich and unusually full-bodied flavours brim with dry extract while exhibiting excellent power on the mouth coating, a balanced and complex finale that goes on and on. I very much like the outstanding persistence, and this is an impressive Ech.Drink from 2035 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (January 2022)

23 barrels – lucky man! Inky purple and black in colour. It starts a bit blockbuster for Echezeaux, then refines somewhat. Still, this is not for the fainthearted—quite firm tannins but ripe enough. Decent weight behind, but this is still unresolved. A few blackberries though predominantly red fruit. 13.8% alcohol. Note that the malolactic for this wine was fairly late, taking place in the summer.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (November 2021)

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru offers real intensity on the nose, quite powerful with pure dark cherries, cassis, crushed violet and blood orange. Stylistically, this is not unlike Thomas Collardot’s good friend, Sébastien Cathiard’s, in style. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, veins of blood orange and a pinch of sea salt. Lovely structure and focus on the finish. Excellent - this is an Echézeaux from the top drawer.Drink 2026 - 2050Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (November 2021)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
