2024, Maison Benjamin Leroux, ECHEZEAUX, Grand Cru

The 2024 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet with pure redcurrant and wild cherry fruit, wilted rose petals and crushed stone. The palate is very well balanced with satin-textured tannins, impressive depth and a poised finish. Leroux only made one Côte de Nuits Grand Cru in 2024 - but it's a great one.
93-95 Neal Martin.

The only Grand Cru which really stood up to its reputation. Medium deep crimson purple. The oak shows quite a lot on the nose just at the moment. More than adequate fruit weight, indeed more in density than laciness, but that is partly the oak speaking. A lively and lifted little red fruit finish. Drink from 2030-2038.
