The 2002 Grands-Echézeaux was more aromatic, higher-toned and feminine in its personality. It, too, was quite pretty.

also initially had an herbal edge with the dill (almost pickle), forest, pine and menthol, but it also had lovely rose aromas, leading into the cherry, dusty and lightly snow-frosted earthy side of its personality. There was a pinch of aggressive wood in its herbal component, but the palate was certainly more powerful than the Echezeaux and much more finish-centric at first. The finish was heavy with its wave of tannins, alcohol and acid that was put together well enough to satisfy the most skilled of wine surfers. I must admit, at first the flavor bothered me a little as I got a bit too much of the wood and herbal side, along with extreme citrus. The wine was wound and a bit angular, but it really fleshed out with time in the glass . it really needed that time to get deliciously fleshy and lose that herbal edge

Le domaine possède 3,52 ha sur les neuf hectares que compte le grand cru. Ils sont situés au coeur de l'appellation avec une bande verticale qui part du mur du clos Vougeot jusqu'à la route qui sépare les Grands-Echezeaux des Echezeaux. L'essentiel des vignes du domaine se trouve dans cette continuité. Les vignes atteignent un âge moyen d'environ cinquante ans. En 2002, le domaine a produit près de 13 000 bouteilles avec un rendement de 29 hl/ha, ce qui est inférieur à d'habitude (d'un peu moins d'un millier de bouteilles). D'un beau rubis, la robe apparaît légèrement plus intense que celle de l'échezeaux. Le nez, qui d'habitude se livre peu à ce stade, se révèle intense et superbe avec des notes profondes de réglisse, de cerise et de cuir. Nettement plus dense que l'échezeaux, le vin offre un superbe milieu de bouche et se révèle plein et concentré, très long. La densité est étonnante et le fruit superbe, avec de belles notes de framboise de réglisse. Doté d'une imposante masse tannique, mais dénué d'agressivité, ce millésime laisse envisager un très grand vieillissement.

Highly expressive scents of flowers, perfume, and black cherries can be found in the aromatic profile of the 2002 Grands-Echezeaux. Satin-textured in the attack, its pretty, pepper-laced black berry-flavored personality is light to medium-bodied and lacks the persistence expected from a grand cru. In addition, some bitterness can be detected in its tannic finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015.
