Jean-Marc Millot, Grands Echezeaux 2002

The 2002 Grands Echezeaux from Millot was a true pleasure. The nose was quite open and developed, with raspberries, strawberries, cherries and a fine mineral note. On the palate also red fruits, quite developed with soft matured fruit. A very good balance and first and foremost a very charming wine. On the negative side, the wine could do with a little more concentration, and length. But still this is a wonderful and charming wine with a good expression of the terroir.
