Excellent deep red. Complex aromas of red- and blackcurrants, minerals and smoke, along with an herbal topnote; smells much sweeter from bottle than it did a year ago from barrel. Sweet, broad and deep; less complex today in the mouth than the Ruchottes, but offers terrific texture. The tannins hit the palate earlier than those of the Ruchottes, but there also very strong, persistent back-end fruit flavor.Inc. GSTSG$1,433.24 -

Medium red. Very reticent, slightly reductive aromas of licorice and menthol. Silky on entry, then minerally and tight in the middle and youthfully austere. But this pure, intense wine finishes with superb lift and perfume and firm tannins that show no sign of hardness. This will need a good six or seven years of patience. I would not be at all surprised if the Mugnerets' compellingly pure 2001 grand crus merited higher scores with time in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$1,224.70 -

Moderately saturated medium red with an amber edge. Mature scents of smoke, game, herbs and spices, plus a whiff of asparagus. Surprisingly sweet on entry, then nicely intense and mature in the middle palate, with game and clove flavors joined by black pepper and a hint of pyrazines. My enthusiasm was a bit dampened by a slight peppery edge that dries the dusty tannins and leaves behind a hint of tartness. Perhaps a bit more vegetal than fruity at this point but by no means bitterly green. Marie-Andrée described the 2004 vintage as a great challenge, although she maintained early on that any green character in the estate's wines in '04 were due to incomplete ripeness and not to the ladybug issue that plagued some red Burgundies that year.

Medium red with a hint of amber. Musky red fruits, spices, menthol and herbs on the nose, complicated by a whiff of leather. Seamless and suave in texture, with some leather and herb impingements to its red fruit and spice flavors. Offers lovely easygoing sweetness along with complex soil tones and very good vinosity. Finishes with a late dusting of tannins. A subtly sophisticated Clos Vougeot but probably for mid-term rather than long aging. The Mugneret sisters compared this wine to the 2017 version, noting that the acidity was going down at the time of the very early harvest.

Good medium red with a healthy rim. Alluring, deeply pitched aromas of raspberry, mocha, dried flowers, spices and smoky oak. Then juicy, salty and penetrating, with the low yield of the vintage obvious in the wine's intensity. Firm acidity--probably higher than the last three wines, notes Marie-Andrée--energizes and sharpens the highly complex flavors of red and darker berries, licorice, spices, blood orange and black pepper. A wine with outstanding precision, this beauty boasts terrific inner-mouth floral lift and also spreads out horizontally to saturate the palate on the very long whiplash of a finish. Plenty of soil-driven minerality here and still distinctly firm-edged on the aftertaste. Marie-Christine noted that this wine was very closed when she pulled the cork an hour before our tasting.

Fine-grained, floral and mineral-driven, conveying terrific cut to its strawberry, raspberry and blood orange fruit flavors. But owing to its strong saline minerality, this dense but juicy wine is about much more than primary fruit and is already long on personality.

Saturated deep red, with ruby tones. Reticent nose hints at redcurrant, licorice, tobacco and iron.

Deep, bright red. Redcurrant, iron, tobacco and minerals on the nose. Offers a nicely restrained sweetness in the mouth, thanks to good firming acidity. But this very rich, spicy wine builds impressively toward the back. This began a bit soft, noted Marie-Christine, but now seems more solid. The wine's sizable tannic structure, she believes, stands in for the low acidity.Inc. GSTSG$10,670.45 -

Wine Advocate (95)
The 2008 Echezeaux is flat-out great. It is a deep, dark wine graced with exquisite balance, lovely inner perfume and a layered, eternal finish. Here the slightly higher percentage of new oak (70%) gives the wine an additional measure of volume. The Echezeaux is made from two parcels; Les Rouges du Bas (just in front of Clos Vougeot) and Les Quartiers de Nuits (next to Clos Vougeot) vinified together. Everything of the Echezeaux is first-class. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038.Inc. GSTSG$1,015.77 -
Wine Advocate (95)
The 2009 Echezeaux comes across as rich, powerful and totally seductive. It shows considerable richness and depth in a more immediate style than the 2010. The aromatics and nuance of the 2010 are missing, but in exchange readers will find a deep, fleshy wine that will deliver considerable pleasure with minimum cellaring. I especially like the intensity of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2034.Inc. GSTSG$1,880.14 -

Finishes with great mineral thrust and lingering perfume, the suave tannins reaching the front teeth. Classy juice: this extremely long and aromatic wine leaves the salivary glands quivering.Inc.

Layers of dark, deeply spiced fruit blossom in the glass as the 2011 shows off its pure volume. The Echézeaux boasts fabulous extract and serious concentration. This is a marvelous Burgundy built for the cellar. Today, the 2011 is every bit as magnificent as it was from barrel.Inc. GSTSG$11,437.87

(1x75cl) 1996
Vinous (91)
Saturated deep red, with ruby tones. Reticent nose hints at redcurrant, licorice, tobacco and iron. Sweet and suave in the mouth; this is pliant compared to the above yet at the same time firmly structured. Much less minerally than the Feusselottes, but still a rather masculine style of Echezeaux. Persistent, authoritative finish.In BondSG$761.00 -

Good ruby-red. Reticent but vibrant aromas of black cherry, tobacco and graphite. Explosively ripe and sweet, with a glyceral, layered texture. Finishes very long, with thoroughly fine tannins. This shows the superripe side of the vintage more than the Mugnerets' other '97s.In BondSG$935.00 -

Vinous (91)
Deep, bright red. Redcurrant, iron, tobacco and minerals on the nose. Offers a nicely restrained sweetness in the mouth, thanks to good firming acidity. But this very rich, spicy wine builds impressively toward the back. This began a bit soft, noted Marie-Christine, but now seems more solid. The wine's sizable tannic structure, she believes, stands in for the low acidity.In BondSG$9,730.00 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)
Good bright, deep red. Black cherry, mineral and tobacco aromas lifted by a floral element. Sweet, dense and suave, with a compelling sugar/acid balance and penetrating minerality. Comes across as much more aromatic in the mouth than the Ruchottes. Finishes classy and long, with very fine tannins. A superb early showing for this cuvee. Along with the Vosne villages and the Chaignots, the most expressive at this early stage.In BondSG$1,310.00 -

The 2008 Echezeaux is flat-out great. It is a deep, dark wine graced with exquisite balance, lovely inner perfume and a layered, eternal finish. Here the slightly higher percentage of new oak (70%) gives the wine an additional measure of volume. The Echezeaux is made from two parcels; Les Rouges du Bas (just in front of Clos Vougeot) and Les Quartiers de Nuits (next to Clos Vougeot) vinified together. Everything of the Echezeaux is first-class. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038.In BondSG$922.00 -

The 2009 Echezeaux comes across as rich, powerful and totally seductive. It shows considerable richness and depth in a more immediate style than the 2010. The aromatics and nuance of the 2010 are missing, but in exchange readers will find a deep, fleshy wine that will deliver considerable pleasure with minimum cellaring. I especially like the intensity of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2034.In BondSG$1,715.00 -

Vinous (94+)
Good bright, full red. Lovely perfume of raspberry, spices and crushed stone. Juicy, vibrant and brilliantly delineated, offering outstanding inner-mouth tension and lift to the flavors of red licorice, crushed stone and rose petal. Sappy rather than fleshy. Finishes with great mineral thrust and lingering perfume, the suave tannins reaching the front teeth. Classy juice: this extremely long and aromatic wine leaves the salivary glands quivering.In BondSG$2,835.00 -

Vinous (96)
Dark red cherry, plum, spices, menthol and licorice all flesh out in the 2011 Echézeaux, a powerful, incredibly inviting Burgundy loaded with class and personality. Layers of dark, deeply spiced fruit blossom in the glass as the 2011 shows off its pure volume. The Echézeaux boasts fabulous extract and serious concentration. This is a marvelous Burgundy built for the cellar. Today, the 2011 is every bit as magnificent as it was from barrel.In BondSG$10,440.00
