Bouchard Pere & Fils, Echezeaux Grand Cru Domaine 2005

"An expressive and rather toasty nose of black berries, spice, underbrush and a hint of jerky blends into the rich, powerful and mouth coating flavors blessed with outstanding phenolic ripeness on the textured, velvety, mouth coating and deep finish. This is not as refined as the Clos de Vougeot but this is still one exceptionally impressive effort." - Allen Meadows

"From the high-elevation En Orveaux section of its cru, the Bouchard 2005 Echezeaux offers aromas of ripe red cherry, white pepper, and chalk dust. Sappy and well-concentrated on the palate and with abundant but fine tannins." - Wine Advocate
