Grands Echezeaux 2014 Mongeard-Mugneret

Robert Parker (94)

The 2014 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from 1.44-hectares of 40- to 68-year-old vine and is matured entirely in new oak. It has a clean, pure and quite intense bouquet with dark plum, raspberry and rose petals scents that are beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good depth, a slight earthiness underneath the dark berry fruit mixed with black pepper and sage, fanning out gently towards the sturdy, truffle-tinged finish. Give this several years in the cellar, because it is a very well crafted and sophisticated Grands-Echézeaux.

Burghound (92)

An attractively fresh and layered nose presents a spicy array of red and dark currant that is trimmed in discreet wood and floral wisps. There is excellent punch and delineation to the supple and velvety flavors that terminate in a youthfully austere finish that offers a bit more depth and length. While this is not especially dense there is better concentration compared to that of the Clos de Vougeot or Echézeaux.
