2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru, Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

Since 2016, the domaine has added a little whole-bunch to this cuvée. It really works here, giving it superb aromatic lift. 65% of the fruit comes from Rouges du Bas, the rest from the Quartier de Nuits section of the Echézeaux grand cru. So elegant and balanced.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from Les Rouges du Bas and Les Quartiers de Nuits, co-fermented, and sees 60% new oak. The very fragrant on the nose offers dark berry fruit, orange pith, forest floor and hints of morels. Very, very pure. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, focused and poised, a little grittier in texture towards the finish that fans out wonderfully with hints of Earl Grey and 5-spice. An Echézeaux that will benefit from several years in bottle.

(93—95)/100

15% whole bunch following their tradition which began in 2016. A deep crimson purple. Quite a delicious bouquet here, refined, delicate, in the lattice-work style. Entirely a red berry fruit, alpine strawberries, excellent acidity, waves of nuanced fruit, flowing through to a fine long finish. Graceful and stylish. 43 hl/ha, 13.1% alcohol Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: November 2023.
