Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Echézeaux Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Jean Tardy has a lovely, very pure and terroir expressive bouquet with precise strawberry and pit cherry scents, beautifully interwoven oak and a drop of iodine developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, very well judged acidity, an Echézeaux that just seems happy in its own skin - natural, refined and just delicious to drink now and over the next 10-15 years, possibly longer. Chapeau!
