In spite of appearances, Grands-Echézeaux is much smaller than Echézeaux, and its wines much rarer. In the right hands, it often holds the edge in terms of quality. Where the rest of Alix’s 2022s are structured and handsomely muscular, this is refined and ethereal.
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.
