2017 J. Drouhin Grands Echezeaux 750ml
Located in New York
The 2017 Grands Echèzeaux from Maison Joseph Drouhin is another brilliant example of the vintage. The wine was still in barrel in November, with the grapes having been picked on September 8th for this wine and thirty-five percent whole clusters included this year. The wine is still a puppy and was in the process of absorbing its thirty percent new oak, but all of the constituent components are in place for a stunning wine down the road. The still slightly new oak bouquet (which of course will pass in due course) offers up a refined blend of black cherries, sweet dark berries, woodsmoke, gamebird, dark chocolate, a bit of sweet stems and the aforementioned spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full and rock solid at the core, with lovely soil signature, fine-grained tannins and huge backend energy giving the wine stunning length and grip on the perfectly balanced and complex finish. Great juice. 2029-2085.

Reviews & Scores
"Deep garnet in color, it has a well-defined bouquet of brambly black fruit, briar, lightly crushed stone and a touch of iris petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, the acidity well-judged and imparting a natural balance. This is quite a suave Grands Echézeaux, a little spicy toward the second half, with gentle but insistent grip."

There’s a very brambly and juicy array of fine, spicy cherries with such appealing, sappy complexity already. So much energy in this wine. The palate brings a superb array of very bright and juicy red and darker cherries. Exceptional concentration. So vibrant and so generous. JS
