The 2011 Échézeaux literally jumps from the glass with a heady melange of dark red fruit, sweet floral notes and crushed rocks. Rich and explosive on the palate, yet backed up with significant structure and pure intensity, the 2011 is firing on all cylinders. First and foremost, the Échézeaux is a wine of pure texture. The Échézeaux emerges from 7-8 parcels in the Poulallières climat. There is so much to like here.

Bright crimson. Immediately denser on the nose than the DRC Corton 2011 tasted immediately beforehand. Some richness and depth on the nose – intense! Really rather vibrant and sumptuous with some sweetness and even a hint of oak – most unusual! Firm savou
