"A cooler, more elegant and equally spicy nose of mostly red fruits and Asian-style tea is wonderfully fresh if notably more restrained. As is typically the case there is more size and weight to the broad-shouldered flavors that are shaped by firmer and slightly less fine-grained tannins on the impressively persistent finish." (94 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan. 2020)

"The 2017 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru is a pretty big step up in this range, both in terms of depth, power and energy. Here the flavors are dark, while there is quite a bit of tannin lurking beneath. Black cherry, graphite, leather, smoke, spice and menthol infuse the 2017 with tons of virile, somber character. Readers will have to be very patient. A whole range of sepia-toned aromas and flavors shrouded in tannin add depth to an imposing Grands-Echézeaux built for cellaring." (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2020)

“A cool, elegant and spicy, if still somewhat restrained, nose of mostly red fruits and Asian-style tea along with a whiff of hoisin. As is typically the case there is very good size and weight to the broad-shouldered flavors that are shaped by firm yet reasonably fine-grained tannins on the impressively persistent finish. This is not as concentrated or powerful as it usually is, though to be fair, what 2017s are? Even so, this is still going to require the better part of 10 years to reach its apogee.” (93 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, March 2025)
