95+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "As I noted when tasting the 2010 version, Maxime’s family’s parcel lies in the lieu à dit of Les Cruots and the vines are in excess of eighty years of age. They lie right below Beaux Monts and in 2012, this wine was raised in sixty percent new oak and Monsieur Cheurlin used twenty-five percent whole clusters. This is an absolutely brilliant bottle of Echézeaux in the making, delivering a marvelous bouquet of red and black cherries, dark plums, cocoa, gamebirds, fresh nutmeg, incipient notes of bonfire, a very complex base of dark soil tones and spicy new wood. Stylistically, this is quite similar to Louis-Michel Liger-Belair’s version. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and flamboyantly sappy at the core, with great soil signature, suave, fine-grained tannins and a very, very long, perfectly balanced and tangy finish. A stunning wine. (Drink between 2023-2060. (Mar/Apr 2014)"
