Like so many 2010s today, the Grands Echézeaux from Vincent Mongeard is very hunkered down and reserved at the present time, but with glorious potential for down the road. The bouquet offers up a black fruity mélange of dark berries, black plums, venison, woodsmoke, complex soil tones, coffee, mustard seed and spicy new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off beautiful mid-palate depth, with excellent focus and balance, fine- grained tannins and a very, very long, tangy and promising finish. A superb bottle in the making.
