Echezeaux Jean Grivot 2022 (750ML)

93-96 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A ripe yet cool nose combines a plethora of spice and floral elements with those of plum, exotic tea and dark currant. The moderately dense and caressing medium weight flavors display focused power on the hugely long, balanced and strikingly complex finale. This is a seriously good Ech with the development potential to match. (Drink starting 2034)" 01/24

97 Points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter: "With its ripe, deep, plummy fruit, floral notes and abundant spice accents, the 2022 Echézeaux from Grivot is among the top wines in this cellar. The texture is rich and velvety; the finish stretches on for minutes. The grapes are from a 0.84-hectare parcel in Cruots planted in 1954. Grivot destems the grapes and ferments gently, with more pumping exclusively after the beginning of fermentation. This vintage will begin to open in five to seven years and should drink well for at least another 30. (Drink between 2030-2065)" 11/23

95-97 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a vivid, bright bouquet with perfumed, very floral red berry fruit and touches of white flowers filtering through with time in the glass. Quite classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, slightly tarry black and red fruit, hints of black pepper and graphite towards a complex, engaging finish. Superb. (Drink between 2028-2050)" 01/24
