Cheurlin produced just one and a half barrels of the 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru, and it is showing very well, unwinding to reveal aromas of sweet berry and cherry fruit mingled with exotic spices, loamy soil, dark chocolate and spices. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, with terrific concentration and a textural, multidimensional profile, it's built around succulent acids and ripe tannins. As usual, this derives from a tiny parcel in Les Cruots that was planted before 1915. ... More details

91-94 This too is restrained to the point of being all but mute as the nose only grudgingly divulges its aromas of softly spicy and floral purple fruit. The lush and generously proportioned flavors possess very good volume and power as well as mouthcoating texture where the dry extract does a good job of buffering the firm tannins shaping the muscular, serious and youthfully austere finish. Patience essential.

91-93 The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a ripe bouquet with floral scents of iris and violet infusing the precocious black cherry and blueberry fruit. This is a modern take on this grand cru. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins and a little confit-like in style. Displays commendable tension, although it needs lacks complexity and terroir expression on the finish compared to its peers.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with – Burgundy and Champagne – it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.
