Georges Noellat Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru 2020

The bouquet is poised and complex, led by black cherry and cassis with violet, subtle sous-bois and fine spice. The palate is satin-textured yet firmly structured, reflecting old-vine concentration and the depth of this Grand Cru site. Tannins are fine-grained, acidity is lively, and the finish is long, lifted and precise, with accents of graphite and black pepper. This is a focused, age-worthy expression of Grands-Échezeaux that will reward cellaring and shines alongside game, dishes with truffle and mature hard cheeses.
