Tasting Notes
Vinous – 93-95
The 2010 Echézeaux brings together all of the best elements of the vintage in its deep, expressive layers of fruit. It boasts gorgeous textural finesse and silkiness in endless dimensions of fruit that wrap around the finish. This is pure sensuality and elegance. I loved it.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045

Burghound – 92-94
A restrained, even shy nose features notes of very ripe and discreetly spicy black fruit and warm earth that can also be found on the rich, supple and very round medium-bodied flavors that possess very good volume if perhaps not quite the density of the Clos de Vougeot. The complex and wonderfully persistent finish really coats the mouth with dry extract but even so, the palate impression is of a tightly wound and very serious wine. Excellent.
Decanter – 96
From a tiny parcel of 1940s-era vines at one of the higher spots of the Echezeaux appellation, this has a point of reduction on the first nose even at seven years old, and its grip belies the silkiness of the tannins, performing that incredible Burgundy trick of seducing you and spurning you at the same time. It has a core of savoury dark fruits with smoky undertones, the flavours spun out on the palate, mouthwateringly so. Wonderful Pinot.
