The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru shows the stem addition on the nose a little more than the Vosne Premier Crus at the moment (written before Seysses mentions that it is 100% whole clusters.) Melted tar and black olive infuse the black fruit - quite tensile with a light marine influence. The palate is medium- bodied with dense, quite firm tannins and a core of licorice-tinged fruit with a sweet finish. Amongst the Grand Crus, this is the one that doesn't quite deliver the same level of breeding, just lacking that éclat or spark on the finish.
