2018 Echezeaux Grand Cru Dujac, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Dujac

The 2018 Echezeaux Grand Cru is a promising cuvée in the making, mingling aromas of dark berry fruit, cassis and cherries with notions of burning embers, dried flowers and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and ripely tannic, with a layered and nicely concentrated core, lively acids, and a well-defined finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Dujac

The wood treatment is more evident though it certainly doesn't intrude on the exceptionally spicy and very floral aromas that reflect notes of cassis, plum, exotic tea and a touch of violet. The medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive and succulent mid-palate that contrasts markedly with a powerful but grippy and slightly drying finish. Again, the open question is whether this will eventually harmonize? - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2018 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Dujac

The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru had been racked the day prior to my visit. That said, the bouquet is very well defined, offering black cherries, raspberry, rosemary and pressed rose petal aromas that blossom with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, good depth and precision, revealing bitter cherry and a touch of balsamic toward the finish. Very good potential. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2020
