2018 Emmanuel Rouget, Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x75cl

Robert Parker 95

The 2018 Echezeaux Grand Cru offers up aromas of dark cherries, cassis, baking chocolate, grilled squab, burning embers and violets. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, broad and expansive, with a velvety and textural attack, a deep and layered core and a long, resonant finish. This is a rich and muscular Echezeaux that will reward keeping. [William Kelley, 19/12/2019]
