Clerget Échezeaux Grand Cru 2023

Justine Clerget has shown herself to be a remarkable talent in the last few years, and this tiny gem of domaine in Vougeot is still a largely undiscovered source. She has introduced organic viticulture, refined extraction, and has leaned into stem use. The resulting wines are classy and modern, but with an old school Burgundian soul.

Justine’s 2023 Echezeaux is magnificent – a soaring wine of depth, breadth and precision. The nose shows spice, dried flowers, and inky black fruit; the mouth is clean, compact, and extremely long. Burghound found it “at once seductive and powerful,” with a “firm, balanced, and impressively long finale.” He concludes “worth considering as this is quite good.”
