Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru bursts with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, rose petals, spices and toasty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and rich palate that's supple, giving and expansive.
Reviewed by: Jim Gordon
Ethereal, silky and refined, this medium-bodied wine is layered and subtle, deep but agile, with great acidity backing sweet cherries, cranberries, wild plums and hints of orange zest. It’s expansive and mouth-filling but somehow light and lifted. What a great wine from a great vintage. Best after 2029.

The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru includes 25% whole bunches. This has a more floral bouquet, wilted red rose petals intermixed with crushed rock and brambly red fruit. Quite taut and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, impressive in terms of purity, with a dab of black pepper heightening the finish. Good precision throughout.
