Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
The 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru is a powerhouse. Dark, rich and explosive, the 2019 packs a huge punch. There is plenty of intensity in the blue/purplish-tinged fruit. The domaine’s Echezeaux is often a charmer, but that is not the case here, at least not today. At times, the 2019 feels a bit heavy. It will be interesting to see how it ages.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2049

This was the last of the Domaine s reds to be harvested, on 22 and 23 September. Yield was 23 hl/ha from 35-year-old vines. Total production 871 cases. Dense, savoury and briary on the nose. A hint of liquorice. Bone dry with quite marked tannins at this stage. The density of fruit distracts from the acidity in this case. But it s more embryonic than usual with lots kept in reserve. Dried bitter cherries. Medium weight and relatively incommunicative. Just hinting at riches to come. Straight into the cellar with this one! It doesn t really want to be tasted at this stage
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2045

Deeper pitched than the domaine’s Corton, the 2019 A chezeaux Grand Cru exhibits aromas of blackberries, plums, exotic spices, orange rind and rose hips. Full-bodied, rich and ample, its broad, textural attack segues into a deep and concentrated mid-palate and a long, saline finish. This is a sensual, enveloping, elegantly muscular A chezeaux that has fulfilled all the promise it showed in barrel.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2060
