What the critics say:
"Five-Star Wine. A heady purple colour, still very youthful. The Grands Echezeaux has a greater weight of fruit while the Echezeaux deals more in nuance. Voluminous, in a very good way, nothing heavy, then a moment where the minerals emerge, then a little more oak to finish. Still on its journey but I think the potential is superb. Drink from 2032-2045. Tasted: November 2023. *****"
"The 2022 Grands Echezeaux is aged in 80% new oak and was completely de-stemmed. It has a very floral bouquet, violets permeating the intense black fruit, becoming even more floral with aeration. And yet, it is a little distant, implying that it will require considerable bottle age. The medium-bodied palate offers sappy black fruit with fine tannins, satin-like in terms of texture. But the finish has a sense of linearity and strictness, so it's not an opulent Grands Echezeaux. Afford this several years in bottle. Superb."
