The 2002 Echezeaux displays a demure nose of herbal, pepper-laced blackberries. Less generous at this stage than the Vosne, it has a light to medium-bodied character with white pepper, black fruit, and stone flavors. Its long finish reveals highly present, structure-giving tannin. Drink it between 2007-2014. Importer: Wilson Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661

Plumper than the Vosne 1er Cru, displaying cherry and a hint of herbaceous vegetal notes. Has yet to absorb the wood, making this a little chunky for now. Fine length.—Non-blind 2002 DRC tasting (February 2005). Best from 2014 through 2027.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Echézeaux Select to Add
