Noëllat/Georges Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru 2015

96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 Grands Echézeaux from Monsieur Cheurlin is also a beautiful bottle in the making. The bouquet is pure and impressively complex, jumping from the glass in a blaze of black plums, red and black raspberries, bitter chocolate, gamebird, a very complex base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke and nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very suave on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, ripe, seamless tannins and a very long, vibrant and utterly classic finish. Great juice. 2025-2075. (Dec 2016)"

94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .40 ha parcel). A restrained nose requires plenty of agitation to reveal the aromas of spiced plum, red and dark currant and soft whiffs of various floral elements. There is a caressing yet muscular palate feel to the succulent medium weight plus flavors that display a lovely inner mouth perfume on the complex, firm and strikingly persistent finish. This is classy juice that, like the Ech, should be approachable young yet reward extended cellaring. Drink: 2027+. (Jan 2018)"

93+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Full deep red. Musky dark raspberry, espresso and dark chocolate on the nose, complemented by an element of graphite minerality. Tighter by far than the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Boudots but with no hardness to its berry and mineral flavors; in fact, this classy wine is downright velvety with some aeration. Finishes firm, penetrating and very long, with excellent precision and lift. This should evolve slowly and gracefully. (Jan 2018)"
