Product Description
DR95 "Rouget’s Echezeaux was the most brooding and reserved wine in the cellar when I tasted it in October 2017, but its considerable potential is already apparent. Notes of smoky black fruit, bonfire, spice and truffle are framed by some lavish new oak, preceding a full-bodied, deep wine with considerable mid-palate volume, vibrant fruit and good concentration. Rouget declares that this Echezeaux personifies ‘mastered power’, and it’s hard to disagree." WK for DR Oct 2017
"My January tasting of 2016s from barrel and 2015s from bottle at DRC was one of the most spectacular visits of my 30 years of tasting in Burgundy. Director Aubert de Villaine chose to present his 2015s first, possibly for fear that they might be tricky to taste following the theoretically more energetic 2016s. He needn’t have worried: both sets of wines are brilliant." ST for VM Jan 2018
