2021 Echezeaux, Grand Cru

Vininformation

91-94 point - Jasper Morris i Inside Burgundy: "A rich concentrated but fresh purple. Not yet much detail, perhaps a touch of the pepperiness of the vintage. A darker fruit yet of bare ripeness as seen by the crunchy acidity in the finish. The tannins are tamed, though the acidity present will need time in bottle. A slightly nervous red, just avoiding the vegetal. Drink from 2027-2034."

91-94 point - Burghound: "Here too discreet but not invisible wood can be found on the overtly spicy aromas of red and blue pinot fruit that also display a touch of green tea that is notably more subtle than with the Petits Vougeots. There is the best volume in the range to the plump and caressing medium weight flavors that possess excellent length on the moderately austere and compact finale. This could use better depth but 8 to 10 years of keeping should easily address that."

17 point - Jancis Robinson: "Mid cherry. Quite deep flavours of raspberry and savoury-sweet wild strawberries. Woodsy depth. Good concentration and flavour. Muscular and toned in its way with a fine, powdery tannic structure leading to a spicy, crescendo finish...."

Grand Cru Echézeaux fra Domaine Christian Clerget kommer fra en 1,09 ha. stor parcel i "En Orveaux", der støder op til Musigny, og med vinstokke plantet i 1947! En superb Grand Cru, der kombinerer sin styrke med elegance og finesse. En rigtig "haute couture vin" med præsente, men silkebløde og sofistikerede tanniner og en fyldig og rig smag, der munder ud i en lang, smidig og overdådigt rig finish.
