    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Suave and silky ripe fruit flavours of mulberry, strawberry, red and dark berry with touches of fruit liqueur. Very layered and meaty for an Echézeaux, all the better for it, yet this also offers impossible-to-resist charm and velvety texture. A racy, fine-tuned style of Echézeaux from the high ‘Dessus’ part of the vineyard, the six hectare heart of Echézeaux.

    Stephen Tanzer,
    Vinous
    (100% destemmed; Tremblay's parcel is on the border with Grands-Echezeaux): Deep red-ruby. Raspberry liqueur, smoke and licorice on the nose, lifted by menthol and violet high notes. Juicy and quite backward, even a bit youthfully imploded, showing terrific energy and cut to its utterly seamless raspberry and violet flavors. This wine boasts terrific volume without weight, finishing with noble tannins that spread out horizontally to saturate the palate. Mounts slowly and lingers long on the vibrant, firm-edged back end. Great potential here. (Unfortunately, the Vosne-Romanee Beaumonts had too much lees in suspension to taste on my November visit.)
