Reviewed December 2018Cécile Tremblay’s 2017 Echézeaux is an utterly brilliant wine in the making and one of the best of the entire vintage! The stunning nose soars from the glass in a blaze of plums, red and black raspberries, duck, bonfire, raw cocoa, a complex base of minerality, fresh nutmeg, a sweet touch of the stems and a refined coating of smoky new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bdoied, sappy and beautifully balanced, with great focus and grip, enormous complexity, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a very, very long, vibrant and soil-driven finish. Great, great Echézeaux!

A complex bouquet of wild berries, roasted coffee, wood smoke and orange rind, framed by new oak, is the prelude to an ample, fine-grained wine with wonderful depth and dimension. It is larger-scaled and more complete than its premier cru stablemates, underpinned by succulent acidity. It’s hard to say which of Tremblay’s grand crus wears the crown this year, as both are stunning. (WK)

Vinous
The 2017 Echézeaux du Dessus Grand Cru has a luxurious bouquet of copious red cherry, crushed strawberry, orange zest and tangerine. The palate is medium-bodied with sumptuous red fruit, the richness offset by a fine bead of acidity. A little exotic but not ostentatious, revealing a tang of white pepper toward the persistent finish. Superb. (NM)

No deeper in colour but quite elegant. The nose starts quietly but the fruit explodes on the palate and here the oak is well judged adding its own sweetness to that of the grapes. Little bits of red fruit, detailed and with a very good freshness. Excellent length here, and this should evolve into something ethereal.
