Echezeaux d`Eugenie 2015 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Flagey-Echezeaux, produced by the estate formerly known as Domaine Rene Engel. The 2015 vintage is renowned for its extraordinary ripeness and concentration, and this wine delivers a powerful profile of black cherry, incense and wet stones. Winemaking under Michel Mallard involves 40% whole-cluster fermentation and approximately 70% new French oak, resulting in a wine of immense structural integrity and textural depth. In the 1.5-litre magnum format, this Echezeaux will evolve very gradually, allowing its floral aromatics and savoury minerals to integrate fully over several decades of cellaring.

The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru was demonstrating a pleasant, subtle reduction like the Les Brûlées that after racking will disappear by the time of bottling. I like the delineation and clarity here, perhaps more than the Les Brûlées. There is a spark - an edge, so to say. The palate is medium-bodied, a mixture of red and black fruit, crisp and well balanced with a slightly savory, dried blood finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a well-made Echézeaux, one of the best I have tasted from the domaine in recent years.

(the crop level in these north-facing vines in Combe d'Orveaux was just 22 hectoliters per hectare): Bright dark red. Pungent, sappy aromas of raspberry and smoky minerality. Dense, sweet and tactile, with its highly concentrated berry flavors enriched by salty mineral extract. Offers terrific inner-mouth tension and lift. Still a baby, but its very long, firmly tannic finish avoids dryness. As youthful as this is, it's more expressive in the middle palate than the 2015 Grands-Echézeaux or Clos Vougeot.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
