The 2023 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a crisp and mineral bouquet, with blackcurrant, wild strawberry fruit and a touch of chalk dust developing in the glass. This has superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. It's a tensile Echézeaux, surfeit with mineralité, leading to a cohesive and persistent finish that exudes class. This is one of the best wines you will find from the Grand Cru.

One of the lighter red crimson colours, a red fruit nose, some strawberry, though not saline in the mouth until the very end, plenty of fruit filling the mouth, perhaps less delicacy and detail. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.
93-95 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy (Jan 2025)
Moderate though not invasive wood can be found on the overtly spicy and exotic nose of red and dark currant, kirsch, tea and a plenitude of floral elements. The middle weight flavors are not especially concentrated though they are quite fine, and quite finely detailed, while boasting a seductive texture that carries over to the superbly long and beautifully balanced finale. While qualitatively similar to the Clos de Vougeot, these are two very different wines.
