Louis Jadot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2020

Critical Acclaim: 96 pts Jasper Morris; 96 pts Wine Spectator; 94 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate; 94 pts Vinous. 

Tasting Notes: "From Les Rouges du Bas A rich clean purple, with some quite fine red berry fruit to follow on the nose, then perhaps a greater intensity than I was expecting, more acidity, a few fine tannins and very good length. More raspberry and redcurrant than plusher fruit."- Jasper Morris. 

"Pure and elegant, this enticing red draws you in with fresh cherry, raspberry, floral and spice aromas and flavors. Lithe and beautifully defined, picking up details of mineral and black pepper as this winds down effortlessly on the long-lasting finish. Hard to resist enjoying this now. Best from 2026 through 2043."- Wine Spectator. 

"Unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, mulberries and summer fruit compote mingled with sweet spices and dark chocolate, the 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is full-bodied, ample and seamless, with a suave, enveloping profile, succulent acids and a long, saline finish. It certainly has fleshed out nicely since I last encountered it in barrel."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

"The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru was quite closed on the nose, backward and rather sultry, black fruit mixed with incense and seaweed emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, quite fleshy and harmonious, with a velvety smooth finish. Quite seductive. (Drink between 2026-2055)."- Vinous. 

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
