The nose is actually quite similar to the last (Bichot) Echézeaux with its creamy-oak edged-fruit. More supple, though there’s a little less excitement – let’s say energy. All said, it’s very well packaged and is quite long.

From vines approaching 60 years-old. A wide nose with some high tones, but again a little tight and showing no depth. The palate shows plenty of grainy tannin and reasonable spicy concentration. It’s clean, but many 1er crus deliver more intensity, depth and complexity, so I can only describe this as ‘okay’.
