The 2020 Echézeaux du Dessus Grand Cru has a very intense bouquet with vivacious red fruit, blood orange and brown spices, just a touch of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and quite structured. This will clearly need time, the most backward of Tremblay’s cuvées, but it will be worth the wait.
Once again discreet wood frames the aromas of spiced plum, dark currant, anise, exotic tea and a whiff of kirsch. There is once again excellent intensity to the delicious and relatively supple mid-palate of the larger-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that helps to buffer the very firm tannic spine shaping the hugely long finale. Superb development potential here.
