The 2016 Echézeaux Grand Cru was affected by the frost, 40% less than normal, although the yield was not too bad in the end according to Pascal Mugneret. It has a very well defined, quite focused bouquet with red and black cherries, blackcurrant leaf, bergamot and light Earl Grey scents. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannin, spicy on the tip of the tongue, increasing in complexity towards the earthy, graphite-tinged finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. There is something "serious" about this Echézeaux and I suspect that it will need 4 to 5 years in bottle.
