The 2011 Echézeaux Grand Cru has an exquisite, refined bouquet with beautifully integrated red and black fruit completely assimilated with the subtle oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, layers of red fruit tinged with Earl Grey and a touch of sea salt, leading to a rounded finish that manages to maintain refinement and appears to have gained weight and girth in recent years. Excellent. Tasted at Flint Wines Burgundy 2011 tasting.

A reserved but complex nose of both red and dark pinot fruit, spice and earth scents serve as a well-layered introduction to the refreshingly energetic and well-detailed medium weight plus flavors that possess good precision on the concentrated, long and balanced finish. This will need every bit of a full decade to reach its apogee. Drink 2021+.

Thick and sweet. Quite dramatic but not very subtle. Dry finish. (JR)
