Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echézeaux is much crisper and better-defined on the nose of perfumed red cherries and raspberry preserve aromas and displays much more mineralité than the Gevrey Village. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins and a sweet core of blackberry and raspberry fruit. Slightly confit-like toward a finish of fine length. This should age nicely.
