Review Date: 11/2023This medium-deep garnet wine boasts a bright, elegant pomegranate and red plum fruit aroma with an edge of earth and spice. The texture is approachably silky and very fine, but there is enough substance to ensure a long life in the cellar. The grapes are from the lieux-dits Rouges de Bas and Quartiers de Nuits. The total owned by the domaine is one hectare, but they have let half of the Quartiers de Nuits to their cousin Pascal Mugneret. The sisters have destemmed the grapes and fermented them gently, and the wine is now ageing in cask (60% new). (CC)

15% whole bunch following their tradition which began in 2016. A deep crimson purple. Quite a delicious bouquet here, refined, delicate, in the lattice-work style. Entirely a red berry fruit, alpine strawberries, excellent acidity, waves of nuanced fruit, flowing through to a fine long finish. Graceful and stylish.

The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet: dark berry fruit, loam, forest floor and truffle scents, expressive once given rigorous aeration (though decanting would benefit the aromatics no end.) The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, mainly black fruit laced with graphite and tar, with hints of licorice towards the end. This has reached its plateau, yet it has the substance to continue aging for a long time. (NM)

There is just enough reduction present to blur the nuances of the fruit but the expected spice elements are in abundance. There is excellent verve and freshness on the palate of the sleek, refined and focused medium-bodied flavors that flash focused power on the dusty, compact and serious finale that makes clear that it is built-to-age. Fine potential here.
