The 2010 Echezeaux sparkles with gorgeous nuance and detail in its finely sculpted layers of dark fruit, spices, menthol and licorice. It shows off gorgeous depth and classiness from start to finish. Graceful and light on its feet, it is everything Grand Cru Burgundy is supposed to be. The energetic, focused finish makes it hard to resist a second taste. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. Winemaker David Croix describes 2010 as being similar to 2002, but with more tension. The harvest started on September 23. About two-thirds of the wines were lightly chaptalized. None of these wines had been racked at the time of my visit in November 2011. Giroud fans will note the addition of two new Volnays to the lineup. I will report on the maison’s 2009s in the April issue.A Becky Wasserman Selection, Le Serbet, various American importers, including Grand Cru Selections, New York, NY; tel.
