2017 Domaine Louis Jadot, Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 92

The 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru, which comes from Les Rouges du Bas, has a far more complex bouquet compared to the Clos de Vougeot; marmalade and dried quince scents infuse the exotic red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red berry fruit on the entry, laced with orange peel and touches of tobacco. I admire the density of this Echezeaux – not the most nuanced one produced in 2017, but it has plenty of substance and aging potential. This should be interesting in 10 years time.
