The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a crisp, undergrowth-tinged bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and faint sea-spray scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, sorbet-fresh red fruit, a little savoriness here, nice depth if needing a little more finesse to develop on the finish. Perhaps just curtailed by the growing season? At the moment, both the Gaudichot and Les Malconsorts outplay this grand cru.- Neal Martin (04/2016)
Black cherry and black currant flavors are framed by sweet, toasted oak in this stylish red. Ripe and polished, with sweet fruit and bright acidity offsetting a solid base of tannins. Firms up on the finish, boding well for a long future. Fine length. Best from 2021 through 2042. 41 cases imported. — BS (05/2017)
Saturated bright, medium red-ruby; dark for the vintage. Deep, brooding aromas of blueberry, dark cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate convey an impression of coolness. Densely packed and a bit youthfully medicinal, with blackberry and blueberry fruit flavors that are darker and a bit higher-toned than those of the Faiveley and Bouchard examples from en Orveaux, which I tasted alongside this wine. Strong tongue-dusting tannins avoid dryness but will need time to harmonize with the wine's youthfully medicinal fruit. Still very young and unevolved, but has the thickness of texture and density to reward cellaring.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2017)
