2012 Domaine Jean Grivot, Echezeaux Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

Bright dark red. Aromas of musky raspberry, rose petal and coffee. Sappy, precise and deep, showing outstanding cut and lift to its flavors of crushed red raspberry and dried flowers. Like the Clos Vougeot this conveys an impression of great vivacity, but this one is in a more feminine, weightless style. The whiplash of a finish, which features noble tannins, leaves the palate vibrating with flavors of red licorice, wild herbs, mint and smoky minerality. "The tiny crop levels of the last few years have made a huge difference," noted Etienne Grivot at this point in our tasting. (Drink between 2024-2038) ST (Mar 2015)
