elegantly structured palate
the majority of which are over 60 years old but some are older than 100
Because of the “cutting-edge” cepage
It’s all fresh and juicy almost right till the end before young sturdy tannins get a solid grip on the finish
plum and flowers with hints of stones
2017 Georges Jayer (E. Rouget) Echezeaux Grand Cru 750ml Bottle Chateau Thivin elegantly structured palate'Richer and more expansive than the Beaux Monts, the 2017 Echzeaux Grand Cru displays aromas of sweet wild berries, licorice, smoked meats, burning embers and candied peel. On the palate, it's full bodied, ample and textural with good depth and dimension at the core, concluding with a long, gourmand finish. While this Echzeaux is generous, it isn't open knit, and it should offer a broad drinking window.' Rating 92 94+, William Kelley, robertparker. com
