Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2022

My continued quest to try as many 2022 Burgundies as possible.

My instincts on this one is it will require more cellaring than the previous other five 22’s.

The nose says, it is in a dumb phase. Not showing much. Muddled, brooding dark fruits, not very distinctive earth and withering dark flowers.

The palate fruits are nice. Juicy, ripe but again not one fruit stands out over all others. Dark cherries, ripe strawberries, some nice blackberries, plum, raspberries with the lightest blue fruit hues. Tannins here but far less pronounced than the previous five wines. Like the others, dusty, dry top soils, limestone powder, dry river stone, black tea, dark rich soil with dry leaves, dry twigs, 65% new oak here but you wouldn’t sense that high of use, so, barrel shavings, lightly grilled meats, dry tobacco & leather, very light baking spices, baking soda/powder, nice, dark spice-not overdone, dry herbs, moist, volcanic clay, withering to dry dark, red flowers, nice acidity with an nicely; balanced, elegant, well made finish that lasts two-minutes that run nice fruit to dry minerals.

Don’t open for ten years.

@Tom Casagrande I think highly of all the ones I’ve tasted so far…about 50 now. It is a sensational vintage. You had to get in the way of this vintage in most cases to make a bad wine. I know a guy who has been going to Burgundy for 40 years, sometimes multiple times each year…he is a buyer. When he returned from Burgundy after tasted 2022, I asked him what vintage he thought it compared to and he said 59, which is a huge statement. I haven’t had but one or two 59’s. So I don’t have a firm read on 59, but I am well aware of how people talk about it. One word, “legendary!”

We really liked this one. Would be better off if less marked but oak. Might have good upside if cellared for like 5 years. — 2 years ago

Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Asian spices, sandalwood, dark cherries and raspberries. Hint of wild herbs. Becomes more floral and open with a few min, but still relatively restrained. Wine is balanced on the palate with smooth tannins and decent acidity for backbone. Lushly textured, rounder. Prefer the George Noellat over this one. — 6 years ago

A great burgundy. Rounder fruit (more than red?) and perhaps fuller-bodied than other pinot this age. I think this will age well — but I’m impatient and keep drinking it young! An hour or two of air in tue decanter really makes this come alive. — 3 years ago

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Gentle yet alluring spices and flowers on the nose. Still some reduction which was not unlike Cathiard. Despite the great nose, it lacked the complexity and finish of a grand cru. A Vosne kind of Gevrey. — 6 years ago
