2019 Henri Boillot Echézeaux Grand Cru

Description

94   Decanter
“The fruit here is all from the En Orveaux lieu-dit, so close to Musigny and influenced by the cool winds of the Combe d’Orveaux. This is picked as much as a week after the other fruit from the Côte de Nuits, and delivers a wine of great freshness, with lovely aromas of cassis and mullberry fruit. The wine is still structured and long on the palate, but the grip seems more from the grapes than the cask. Drinking Window 2024 – 2039.” (1/2021)

94   William Kelley for Wine Advocate
“The 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, black raspberries, sweet oil tones, licorice and orange oil. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, its broad, textural attack segues into an ample, lively mid-palate, concluding with a long, flavorful finish. Sourced from En Orveaux, this is only the third vintage Boillot has produced of this new cuvée.” (1/2021)
