    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine Jean Grivot, Echézeaux, Grand Cru, 2015

    Silky and enticing, a stunning Echézeaux from two prime plots, les Rouges and Cruots. Seductive and suave flavours of strawberry, kirsch and damson, so curvaceous, lacy and fine, great length and concentration. Intense but there is nothing forceful about it at all. Fluid and elegant, this glides across the palate.

    The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru offers fleshy ripe red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit on a nose that would benefit from more delineation. This is just a tad smudged compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, good substance and perhaps more extraction than its peers, and the finish is saline. Give this five or six years and it should evolve into a very fine Echézeaux. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
