Description

The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru is the second release after the paltry half-barrel debut last year due to frost damage (this métayage shared with Christophe Roumier.) It contains around 25% whole bunches and 70% new oak. Mortet works this parcel by horse since the incline is a little too steep for a tractor. It has a beautiful bouquet, very well defined with mineral-rich red berry fruit mixed with briary and light graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite saline at first, but the silkiness of the tannins towards the finish is beguiling—just an exquisite and sensual Echézeaux.

Drink 2022 - 2040
