DUJAC ECHEZEAUX 2023 750 ml

Description:

Dujac’s holding is one block in the Champs Traversins vineyard which is situated at about 919 feet of elevation on an eastern facing slope. The vineyard features thin soils of sand and marl over hard rock. The vines have been organically farmed since 2001 and create an Echezeaux known for its delicate yet refined character. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

96 Points - Decanter

Bright notes of raspberry and redcurrant. The texture is silky and dense but there is no lack of freshness here. The overall impact is one of velvety complexity and a generosity that lingers on the palate. From 0.68ha in Champs Traversin; the grapes were picked early to control alcohol and maintain acidity, and it seems to have worked.

93+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

 Aromas of orange rind, rose petals, plums, exotic spices, raw cocoa and sweet wild berries preface the 2020 Echezeaux Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, layered and expansive wine built around lively acids and melting tannins. This, too, is rather elegant and fine-boned this year.

93+ Points - Vinous

 The 2020 Echezeaux Grand Cru has an endearing bouquet with predominantly red fruit, white pepper, a light ash-like bouquet that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very saline, a little herbaceous with a strongly marine-influence towards the finish.
