Product Description
DR95 "A gorgeous, scented nose combines flowers and wild raspberries. The palate is sweet and succulent, with boysenberries, strawberries and yet more voluptuous raspberry. and some deft oak and spice in the background. It's very vivacious and expressive, with some heft, flesh and density. Perhaps thanks to the old vine fruit - averaging 55 years old here - it feels a little coiled at present, and the grainy tannins will need time to unfurl, but there is balancing lightness, acidity and finesse alongside the evident power and concentration. Long, mineral finish." JS for DR Jan 2018
BH95 "This is notably more floral as well as more restrained and what is interesting is that even though the violet-inflected fruit profile is just as ripe, it runs toward the red side of the spectrum while displaying a similar variety of spice components that includes a hint of sandalwood. This too is impressively constituted but despite the power and concentration the broad-shouldered flavors retain plenty of underlying tension as well as lovely precision before culminating in a massively long, balanced and harmonious if youthfully austere finale where the only nit is a hint of warmth. By the usual standards of this wine I would not describe the 2015 version as massive though at the same time it is beautifully proportioned." AM for BH Jan 2018
VM95 "The 2015 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru was cropped at 30.42hl/ha on 11 and 12 September. It has a glorious bouquet that springs from the glass: Morello cherries, crushed strawberry, crushed stone, just a hint of bay leaf all beautifully defined and with a little more horsepower than the Echézeaux. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry and comes across more saline in the mouth than its “little brother”. There is a pinch of spice that becomes more prominent with aeration and then against my expectations, it becomes understated and quite linear on the finish. One of the more backward 2015s from the domaine this year, I would cellar this for four or five years at least; a Grands Echézeaux that is full of secrets. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in bottle tasting in London." NM for VM Apr 2018
RP94+ "The 2015 Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru is more brooding and reserved than the Échézeaux, opening in the glass with notes of raspberry, plum preserve, currant leaf, blood orange, hints of the forest floor to come and, again, a rich framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with notable structural amplitude and a long, authoritative and firmly tannic finish. This is always a wine that takes a long time to show all its cards, and the 2015 is no exception, but the raw materials indicate that patience will bear dividends." WK for TWA Feb 2018
Neal Martin for RobertParker.com writes, "Bertrand de Villaine greeted me at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, a grower that many are tipping to be the next big thing. He also proposed that 2015 was a vintage between 2005 and 2009 in style, not the only person to make such comparisons and one that I would not disagree with, though on a couple of occasions they were reminiscent of the 1999s in terms of their ability to traverse the gap between power and finesse. As one would expect, these are exceptional wines that will have Burgundy lovers clamoring for an allocation upon release. Perhaps it will surprise some to see that I rated the Echézeaux equal to that of Grands Echézeaux, to my memory the first time ever. It is not intended as a slight against the latter, rather to serve notice how impressed I was by the Echézeaux"
