About the wine
Tasting notes
The 2010 Echezeaux opens with a mysterious, seductive bouquet. The wine is much more focused and linear on the palate, where the early appeal of the aromatics gives way to an energetic expression of fruit. A mineral-drenched finish coats the palate with bright saline notes. Today the 2010 is very, very young and the slow pace of the malo seems to come through in the wine's raw power and brawn. This is an immensely promising wine, but it needs to move through its infancy first. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030.

Expert review
A restrained, cool and attractively if subtly spiced nose of primarily black pinot fruit and plum aromas is followed by rich, refined and intensely mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess a plenitude of dry extract that imparts a sappy and seductive texture to the mouth feel. There is an admirable level of concentration and I like the lovely balance. This isn't quite as complex as the best here but this is indisputably of grand cru quality. 94pts
