Tasting notes

The Millot Echezeaux is predominantly from Echezeaux du Dessus (1949 and 1980 plantings), along with Les Poulaillères and Clos St-Denis. Lovely red crimson colour. Florally detailed, plus a little oak as well. 20% whole bunch just adds a little touch of liveliness. The oak will need to quieten down which it will. The 2022 Jean-Marc Millot is particularly persistent, and yet again a really fine grain of tannins Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023.

Production consists of 2.5 barrels of destemmed fruit, and one in whole bunches. Mid crimson purple. The fruit shows a weight on the nose and the palate is superb, with a little bramble, definitely a floral aspect and a wealth of succulent raspberry and strawberry fruit, leading to a gorgeous finish. Drink from 2032-2045. Tasted: November 2023.
