CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a more tertiary nose. There are some whole bunches here, and touches of dried blood and undergrowth come through. I appreciate how this gradually unfolds. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, though it feels contained and compact and doesn't fully "flow" on the finish as I was hoping. I feel that the whole bunches need time to assimilate fully. This could go either of two ways, making it difficult to score. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

TA (sulphuric) 4 g/l, TA (tartaric) 6.12 g/l, pH 3.35. 40% whole bunch. 17 months’ oak ageing, 40% new. Cask sample. Toasty, mocha evident on the nose. Sweet fruit – dark cherry and raspberry. Subtle, understated oak. An elegant, precise Echezeaux which is more about finesse than power. (AWH)
