The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru is just the second release of this Grand Cru—after the tiny debut last year due to frost damage. Sourced from a métayage shared with Christophe Roumier, Mortet’s 0.25-hectare of 50-year-old vines lies in En Orveaux, adjoining Musigny. Mortet works this parcel by horse. It was vinified with around 25% whole bunches and 70% new oak.
“It has a beautiful bouquet, very well defined with mineral-rich red berry fruit mixed with briary and light graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite saline at first but the silkiness of the tannins towards the finish is beguiling. Just an exquisite and sensual Echézeaux.”
93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“More discreet oak surrounds the notably spice-infused aromas of red and dark berries, sandalwood and Asian-style tea. The medium weight flavors possess a highly seductive and refined mouthfeel while delivering evident minerality on the persistent, complex and nicely balanced finish. This is firm and a bit austere but not rustic and should age gracefully.”
90-93 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
“Clear bright purple, quite an elegant stylish wine, but all in a discreet way. plenty of oak, it is not a massive wine and with a gentle finish. Early days yet.”
92-95 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
