Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Echezeaux Grand Cru 2023
Since 2016, the domaine has added a little whole-bunch to this cuvée. It really works here, giving it superb aromatic lift. 65% of the fruit comes from Rouges du Bas, the rest from the Quartier de Nuits section of the Echézeaux Grand Cru. So elegant and balanced.
Critical Acclaim
94 Vinous
The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet: dark berry fruit, loam, forest floor and truffle scents, expressive once given rigorous aeration (though decanting would benefit the aromatics no end.) The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, mainly black fruit laced with graphite and tar, with hints of licorice towards the end. This has reached its plateau, yet it has the substance to continue aging for a long time.
