justerini & brooks tasting note

Aged in 80% new oak. Ripe aromatic, open red fruit, oak spice and cinnamon touches, chunky and with a little chew to add to the ripe kirsch notes. From a parcel that produces some of the lowest yields on the Meo-Camuzet estate, these small millerande berries produce intense wines. This is from one of the higher Echézeaux parcels in Les Rouges du Bas lieu-dit, giving wines of finesse and pronounced acidity.

critic reviews

91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru, a cru that Jean-Nicolas Méo believes has progressed in recent years (although he still served it before the top Vosne-Romanée Premier Crus), has a clean, precise bouquet of violet-tinged red berry fruit, not powerful but full of vim and vigor. The well-balanced palate is quite linear and strict in style, displaying crisp tannin and a little rigidity on the finish that should be addressed by the time it finishes its élevage.
