and leather

which Frédéric Barnier told me was one of very few that reached full yield this year since it was not touched by hail

floral nuances

but they have been making it since 2009

as well as braised and grilled dishes – an obvious choice for classic dinners and for those seeking a Pessac-Léognan with depth

Louis Jadot Echezeaux Grand Cru, 2014, 150cl Nyhed and leatherThe 2014 Echzeaux Grand Cru has a tightly wound, tart red cherry bouquet that needs to forage more complexity during aging. It seems a little lackadaisical at the moment. The palate is quite masculine with slightly dry tannin, firm in the mouth with good density, yet it needs to show more precision and focus on the finish. Not bad, but perhaps surpassed by some of Jadot's Vosne Premier crus this year. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
