2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru Mugneret-Gibourg, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Mugneret-Gibourg

The 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru is still very open and expressive despite its recent bottling, bursting from the glass with aromas of smoky cherries, ripe berries, orange rind, dark chocolate and espresso roast. On the palate, it's full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with powdery tannins, lively acids and an ample core of fruit, concluding with a long and perfumed finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Mugneret-Gibourg

A much more floral-inflected nose displays a lovely array of spice elements to the exotic tea and plum liqueur aromas that are trimmed in just enough wood to mention. There is impressive density to the extract-rich medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety and seductive texture while delivering very good persistence on the slightly grippy finish. This won't win any awards for elegance and it's pretty compact at present though I suspect that like several wines in the range, this will successfully age out. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Mugneret-Gibourg

The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which contains 20% whole bunch, has a very perfumed and floral bouquet, wilted rose petals infusing the vibrant red berry fruit and a touch of sous-bois in the background. The palate is medium-bodied and quite "strict" in style. A structured and slightly hard Echézeaux at the moment that will require several years to soften. Patience required. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2020
