"I found the 2020 Grands Echézeaux equally as impressive in bottle as I had out of the barrel. The wine, however, was different – initially relatively closed, it began to open only with time in the glass when a black cherry and mulberry fruit started to come to the fore with hints of earth and smoke. It had lost the exotic, forward element I had tasted in the barrel, but showed more substance and richness here, with supple tannins and impressive length. When this wine opens back up again, it will be spectacular. Picked 25 August, 11,515 bottles made." 97 Points Decanter

"The 2020 Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru is a striking young wine, offering up aromas of mulberries and cassis mingled with orange zest, exotic spices and rose petals. Full-bodied, seamless and complete, with an immensely layered, fleshy palate, it concludes with a long, penetrating, saline finish. Such is its fruit concentration that its rich, powdery tannins are almost imperceptible. Over the last decade, the Grands-Échézeaux has tended to take a back seat to the Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg, but that certainly isn't the case in 2020." 97 Points Wine Advocate
