Robert Parker - 95 Points

"The 2020 Échézeaux Grand Cru has turned out just as well in bottle as I hoped it might. Unusually muscular and concentrated for this bottling, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of mulberries and blackberries mingled with orange zest and exotic spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Full-bodied, broad and velvety, with a deep core of fruit framed by rich, powdery tannins, it concludes with a long, expansive finish."

"The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru is one of the standouts in this tasting. Opulent and sumptuous to the core, the Echézeaux is a real head-turner. I suppose it is not as complex as some of the other wines in this range, but as Aubert de Villaine once said to me about his Montrachet "You don't always want complex, do you?" A rush of dark blue/purplish fruit, spice, chocolate, spice and lavender races across the palate. Readers will find a racy, hedonistic Burgundy that will drink well with minimal cellaring. What a wine!"
