2017 Echezeaux, Grand Cru, Domaine Dujac (1 x Bottle)
The 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru is also showing very well, having gained in depth and precision in the year since I last tasted it. Opening in the glass with aromas of red berries, cherries, orange rind, sweet soil tones, spices and peonies, it's medium to full-bodied, with a broader, more textural attack than the Malconsorts, underpinned by similarly powdery tannins and lively acids. This looks to be a longer-haul proposition than I had imagined, and at least a modicum of patience will be in order.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with a complex bouquet of sweet red berries, dried flowers, forest floor, orange rind and wood smoke, gently framed by a touch of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and expansive, with juicy acids, a deep but open-knit core and a long, sapid finish. Heavily frosted in 2016, in 2017 Dujac’s vines pushed back with a vengeance, and the result is an Echezeaux that emphasizes charm and elegance.

Vinous
The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a well defined bouquet of red and black fruit, the hints of black olive and light undergrowth turning into more tea leaf and bay leaf aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannin and a little oaky at the moment, but there is sufficient fruit to subsume the wood. I would just like a little more complexity to show through on the finish, like the Malconsorts.
