Matured entirely in new oak and the only cru to include whole-bunch fruit (20%), the 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a very sensual bouquet with kirsch, rose petals, a touch of licorice and minerals, here the oak neatly integrated into the fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This feels spicy in the mouth with plenty of substance and good tension, although I would not describe it as the Echézeaux ’13 with the most finesse. This is burlier and more forthright, an Echézeaux that comes straight to the point. Very fine.
