More discreet oak surrounds the notably spice-infused aromas of red and dark berries, sandalwood and Asian-style tea. The medium weight flavors possess a highly seductive and refined mouthfeel while delivering evident minerality on the persistent, complex and nicely balanced finish. This is firm and a bit austere but not rustic and should age gracefully. Score: 90 - 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2032+ 10 January 2019 |

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. Score: 93 - 95 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2022-2040 01 January 2019 |
