Joseph Drouhin Grands-Echezeaux (750ML)

From Grands-Echezeaux

Vintage: 2020
Description: 95 Jm / 94 Vm / 94 WS. Mid purple with a slightly lighter rim, and the bouquet starts off as a little diffuse. This is not the most concentrated wine in the Echezeaux flight, that is not Drouhin's style, and it has a very lovely fruit profile, with floral overtones. Nicely balanced across the palate, accessible and very enjoyable. Drink from 2027-2036. Tasted: September 2024.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. The 2020 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru takes time to unfold on the nose. It's a little more introverted, with darker fruit, a touch of reduction, raspberry, bergamot and light rooibos scents developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, more fruit concentration than d'Eugénie's Grands-Echézeaux, and a rounded texture. Cinnamon and allspice traces appear towards the tarry yet delineated finish. There is real persistence here-superb. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media. Perfumed and packed with black cherry, blackberry, sandalwood, spice and tomato leaf aromas and flavors, this supple red is almost viscous in texture. Shows civilized tannins, with hints of earth and iron adding depth on the expansive finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 30 cases imported. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
