Echezeaux 2012 Emmanuel Rouget

Robert Parker (95)

The 2012 Echezeaux Grand Cru comes from the sub-climats of Les Treux and Cruots. It needed a little patience – initially reticent like a stage-struck schoolgirl, but she soon finds her voice, with mineral-rich red berry fruit that is very focused and defined. The palate is very fleshy on the entry, with a slight ferrous note lending this complexity. It is a driven Echezeaux, gaining momentum in the mouth, with a razor-sharp finish and a long, peppery aftertaste. This is one of the best Echezeaux of 2012.
