94-97 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Deepish crimson colour, the nose is concentrated but sombre. The stems keep it lively. Extra intense as you move to the back of the palate, liquid raspberry with a spicy complexity. Very good length here and I can sense future rose petals. (Nov 2019)"
93-96 points Fine Wine Review: "Spicy red fruits nose and mouth, minerality, medium weight. (4/23/20)"
95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2018 Echézeaux from Domaine Dujac is a brilliant wine in the making, and this is one of the best young examples of this cru that I can recall tasting at the estate. The celestial bouquet soars from the glass in a sappy blend of raspberries, cherries, red plums, duck, a very complex base of soil tones, Vosne spices, cocoa powder and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and tangy, with all of the complexity that the nose promises, a great core, suave, fine-grained tannins and outstanding backend mineral drive on the focused and utterly complete finish. Great, great Echézeaux! 2032-2075. (Nov/Dec 2019)"
95 points Tim Atkin, MW.
94-95 points Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Echezeaux is more forward, floral and expressive than the more intensely structured Malconsorts. The nose is riveting, with red and dark fruits underscored by vibrant minerality and some lovely spicy notes. On the palate, it’s quite cool, with excitingly zappy mid-palate fruit. Clearly one of the best Echezeaux I have tasted from Dujac (perhaps helped by the delightful cool breeze from the combe). Drink from 2032. (11/15/19)"
93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru had been racked the day prior to my visit. That said, the bouquet is very well defined, offering black cherries, raspberry, rosemary and pressed rose petal aromas that blossom with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, good depth and precision, revealing bitter cherry and a touch of balsamic toward the finish. Very good potential. Drink: 2024-2045. (Jan 2020)"
