2023 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Domaine Georges Noëllat

You may remember from January how many Echezeaux overperformed and here is another belter of an example. Sadly, volumes are tiny and we only get a handful of bottles. However, that is not the fault of the wine, which has wonderful definition and precision and its layers really build gracefully and with great fluidity. A sublime example. Jasper seems to agree, scoring it 94-97 pts and noting how the palate ‘clearly shows the beautiful, balanced detail of the vineyard and is altogether exquisite.’ Drink from 2032
