Reviewed January 2023The new oak is prominent on the nose but concentrated, sensuously ripe blackberries and black plums nicely stand up to its influence on the palate. Tangy acidity seems to carry the full body as much as the concentrated yet refined tannins. Baking spice and mineral tones edge into the long finish. There are two parcels here, both over 50 years old.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.
Take possession as soon as your order is ready, or choose managed storage with RareStorage.

Burghound
Note: from a total of 1.06 ha with 65+ year old vines in the climats of Les Treux and Cruots with .63 ha and .43 ha, respectively. An exuberantly fresh nose of spicy purple fruit, exotic tea, violet and hints of cinnamon and sandalwood are trimmed in discreet but not invisible wood. There is both good richness and punch to the supple medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a lightly austere but impressively long and harmonious finale. This could use better depth but like the VRBM, the Rouget Ech has an excellent track record for aging well.

Vinous
The 2021 Echézeaux Grand Cru, aged in 100% new oak, is tasted from two barrels as one is heavily reduced, while the other shows fine delineation: crushed strawberry, wild mint and loam. The palate is heavily reduced at first, quite dense and broad-shouldered, black cherries mixed with cassis, a little chocolaty towards the finish.(NM)
