Échezeaux Grand Cru 2017 - Louis Jadot
Grande Maison de Bourgogne
90 - 93)/100 James Suckling
Cellaring: Drink from 2023 or cellar for one to two decades (or more).
Tasting note by William Kelley in 2019: "Sourced from a parcel in the Rouges du Bas, the 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) offers appealing aromas of smoky red fruits, spice, charcuterie and toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine is expansive, with a broad, open profile. While the wine was fairly structured when I tasted it, I think it will flesh out by the time it's bottled. This is often one of the most promising wines from Jadot."

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION
The commune of Flagey Echezeaux is located south of the Clos de Vougeot. The village is in the plain, as is Gilly les Citeaux, opposite the Clos de Vougeot and borders the commune of Vosne Romanée. The vineyard runs along the wall of Clos Vougeot, and extends to the mountain. The part in the plain can benefit from the Vosne Romanée appellation. On the hillside, there are two Grand Crus: Grands Echezeaux and Echezeaux.
CHARACTERISTICS
The limestone soil is particularly well suited to the production of Grands Crus. The vineyard of the Grand Cru "Echézeaux", exposed East-South/East, is located just above the Grands Echezeaux.
VINIFICATION AND MATURATION
The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The grapes are then carefully sorted by hand and destemmed. Maceration of the grapes takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The vats are pumped over twice a day during the fermentation. The wine is aged for about 18 months in barrels from our cooperage, of which about a third are new.
