The 2010 Echezeaux comes from the lieu-dit of “En Orveau” on the border with Clos de Vougeot. The bouquet is entrancing: perfumed licorice-tinged red berry fruit that opens gloriously in the glass. The palate is harmonious on the entry with crisp raspberry and cranberry notes. There are very fine, slightly chalky tannins here, with great precision and poise toward the elegant finish that is satin to touch. What a lovely, harmonious Echezeaux!
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.
