Mugneret-Gibourg's Echézeaux delivers everything that I could ask for from this Grand Cru.
To be frank, Echézeaux is the third largest Grand Cru, and not everything that's released under its name is up to Grand Cru status. In contrast, Mugneret-Gibourg's is Echézeaux as it should be.

Their 2017 Echézeaux is deep and dark and mysterious. The purple fruits are interwoven with wild flowers, spices, dark soil, and minerals. Few wines offer the combination of textural elegance and precision or intensity and haunting delicacy.
Above all else, Mugneret-Gibourg's Echézeaux is soulful. There's a depth here that you can never quite get your finger on.
The 2017 vintage is one that we're fond of - the wines are bright and energetic and possess a gorgeous expressiveness. For us, there's no modern-day red Burgundy vintage that's as pleasing and as fun to drink as 2017. Mugneret-Gibourg made some of our favorite wines of the vintage. They are simply seductive.
I was very happy to land this parcel of 2017 Echézeaux. Mugneret-Gibourg's Grand Crus are very difficult to find in any quantity, and the Echézeaux represent an absolute high point in their stunning 2017 collection.
