Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Échezeaux Grand Cru 2019 are: “Etienne Julien's 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, plums, woodsmoke, exotic spices, espresso roast and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and complete, it's ample and textural, with fine concentration, velvety tannins and lively acids. This is a flamboyant but controlled Echézeaux that's well worth seeking out”.
