The 2023 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a very attractive bouquet with bright and vivacious strawberry, red cherry and cranberry fruit. Quite pure and well defined, this certainly shades the preceding Clos Vougeot. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a lovely rondeur, gaining weight toward a deftly spiced and persistent finish that is real class. One of the picks from Jadot this year, this Echézeaux is as good as you will find in 2023. (NM)

A pretty paler ruby, with an engaging fresh cherry bouquet, this is all about delicacy and finesse yet with a proper backbone, and persistence. Not the most nuanced but overall fine and typical.

Cherry, raspberry, currant and spice flavors are embedded in the supple texture and dense structure of this red. Compact, long and balanced, needing time to relax and open up. Patience is required. Best from 2030 through 2047.—B.S.
