The 2020 Echezeaux Grand Cru Les Rouges is one of the deepest, most concentrated wines in the range. Mingling aromas of sweet red berries and cherries with notions of incense, exotic spices and vine smoke, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with rich, powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, resonant finish. All of that intensity of flavor is combined with a very modest alcoholic degree of 13.3%.

The 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru Les Rouges is brilliant, bursting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, plums, exotic spices, orange rind and woodsmoke. Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's deep and layered, with striking mid-palate plenitude and a long, expansive finish. Showing more structure and tension than I perceived in barrel, it will require a bit of patience.
