Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru from Domaine Georges No?llat takes time to settle in the glass, some initial volatility eventually fading away to leave a rather attractive nose of redcurrant jam, spice-box and desiccated orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is very well balanced, backward of course, but the structure lends this a sense of symmetry and precision that leaves you wanting to take another sip. This is bestowed that aristocratic class that you seek in a Grands Echezeaux. Bravo Maxime.

?Here too a background touch of wood highlights the spicier and slightly more complex nose that is otherwise quite similar to that of the Ech. There is good volume and punch to the naturally sweet medium-bodied flavors that are also quite seductively textured before concluding in an impressively complex, balanced and driving finish that displays focused power. This is not a big Grands-Ech but it is beautifully proportioned.
