The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from a parcel in the lower part of the vineyard and was reduced to a single barrel as a consequence. It is 100% whole bunch. It has a reticent bouquet with sultry black fruit, a little stemmy and lacking some vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied, pastille-like quality, approachable in style but missing some backbone toward the finish. This is one for early drinking.
