The 2020 Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru is a mesmerizing young wine, enveloping the senses with a bouquet of mulberries and cassis gracefully entwined with the zest of orange peel, exotic spices, and the delicate essence of rose petals. On the palate, it unfolds as a full-bodied, seamless masterpiece, revealing an intricate, fleshy texture that culminates in a profound, enduring, and saline finish. Its fruit concentration is so pronounced that the velvety tannins remain almost imperceptible, and in the context of the 2020 vintage, Grands-Échézeaux takes center stage, dispelling any notion of being in the background to Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg.

This is the fastest maturing and least complex of all the Domaine's wines. It opens before the others, displaying a delightful clarity of expression: a seductive tenderness overlays a firm structure which allows it to evolve with elegance. Grands-Echézeaux's little brother it sometimes approaches its style in terms of muscularity and power.
