Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru from Domaine Georges Noëllat takes time to settle in the glass, some initial volatility eventually fading away to leave a rather attractive nose of redcurrant jam, spice-box and desiccated orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is very well balanced, backward of course, but the structure lends this a sense of symmetry and precision that leaves you wanting to take another sip. This is bestowed that aristocratic class that you seek in a Grands Echézeaux. Bravo Maxime.
