Louis Jadot Echézeaux Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) 2006
Echezeaux, Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceSauvage, earthy, tobacco leaf, green herb, floral, meaty, barnyard, Band-Aid, waxy, cherry and raspberry aromas. Dry, tight, austere but elegant and fresh. Raspberry, tobacco leaf, orange, red currant, meaty, smoky, menthol flavours. A tight, somewhat austere and rustic style that needs two to five years to flesh out. Grands-Echézeaux and Echézeaux are in Flagey-Echézeaux and cover, respectively, 22.5 and 93 acres. While Grands-Echézeaux is a single "climat," Echézeaux covers eleven vineyard sites clustered around Grands- Echézeaux. Grands-Echézeaux may take the Echézeaux appellation, but not vice-versa. Echézeaux is often less concentrated and complex than Grands-Echézeaux. Domaine Louis Jadot is proprietor of .86 acres in Echézeaux purchased in 1995.Tasted: 16 November 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $182.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - International Cellars |
