Echezeaux du Dessus Grand Cru 2016Here the more restrained nose is quite similar to that of the Damodes though there is bit more oak influence present. The rich, intense and impressively concentrated big bodied flavors display a taut muscularity as well as excellent power while delivering first rate persistence on the sappy and palate coating finish. Once again an abundant supply of patience is going to be necessary as this is also very tightly wound. Country Region: France, Burgundy

and a touch of sous-bois (forest floor)

warm and serious finish that is also somewhat grippy though not really short

this is where the franc de pied story becomes obvious

characteristic of the 2021 vintage conditions

that lends this such vibrancy and tension

the 2015 Canon is boldly fruited with blackberry preserves

firm and sappy finish that is youthfully austere

A pronounced mineral character adds lift and precision

There is a noble structure to this wine based around fine-grained tannins and the perfect level of acidity

velvety tannins and seamless freshness

the nose has the expected mineral notes and silky fruit typical of Corton-Charlemagne

so their appearance may vary
