Neil Beckett | The different lieu-dit origins of this cuvée and old vines—most in Echézeaux du Dessus at the heart of the appellation, and around one quarter in the Quartiers de Nuits lower down, both planted between 1921 and 1974—result in a wine as remarkable for its class and grace as for its power and scale. Medium-deep ruby. An expressive, intricate, nose, reserved but stylish, black-fruited and lightly spicy but mineral-charged and pure. Great energy and vibrancy on the palate, effortlessly expansive and richly silky, with excellent harmony and intensity, grand cru quality and scope. | 94
