Moving just down slope to Les Cruots we find the terroir of the Georges Noëllat Echezeaux. The nose offers a very floral expression of fruit and minerality – notes of raspberries, pomegranate and boysenberries – layered and complex with an intense filigree minerality. On the palate more tight and intense, with a quite forward and powerful minerality infused with cool, delicate and airy red fruits … it’s focused, long and defined, offering all one could want from a top Echezeaux – now rivalling the efforts from Liger-Belair, Grivot, Rouget and DRC.
(Drink from 2026) – Very Fine+ – (94 – 95p) – Tasted 17/11/2015 from cask
