The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from a parcel in the lower part of the vineyard and was reduced to a single barrel as a consequence. It is 100% whole bunch. It has a reticent bouquet with sultry black fruit, a little stemmy and lacking some vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied, pastille-like quality, approachable in style but missing some backbone toward the finish. This is one for early drinking.

The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a very opulent bouquet, quite rich compared to others that I tasted, a touch of fresh dates and fig giving away the warmth of the growing season. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry with fleshy ripe black fruit, salted licorice developing on the second half that feels powerful and long. It will need several years to gain composure but it has the substance to suggest long-term ageing.

The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has broody blackberry and boysenberry fruit on the nose, quite stern and backward but gaining more of its voice with aeration. The palate is quite elegant on the entry with sappy red fruit, juicy in the middle with blackberry and a touch of savory fruit coming through on the detailed, quite refined finish. It just needs a little more precision.
