Domaine Georges Noëllat, Grands Echezeaux 2014

By

The Grands Echezeaux is another step up in quality offering a more hedonistic and charming version of the Flagey-Echezeaux qualities. In the bouquet layered red and dark fruits … lovely depth and generosity offering a delicate play between sweet red fruits and darker more vibrant notes … all brought forward by a deep elegant earthy minerality. This is a textbook Grands Echezeaux with a nervy and vibrant midpalate fruit – rich and airy – long and generous – with that classic hedonistic opulence on the midpalate. A wine build for pleasure, joy and indulgence on a cold January evening … preferably from magnum and in abundance in large Riedel cups! Oh joy!
