Burghound, July 2004, Score: 92
Beautifully rendered fruit that offer exquisite detail and a refined yet earthy character followed by fine, relatively rich and intense flavors plus a wonderfully long finish. The fruit and flavors are still entirely primary and I particularly like the elegance and evident breed. A lovely wine that is no where near ready, not one would necessarily expect a 6 year old grand cru to be approaching its peak and this has the balance and acid backbone to live for 25 yearsDrink: 2008/9 +

Emmanuel Rouget is one of Burgundy's greatest wine makers who also owns some of the region's finestvineyards. A man of reticent nature, he is reflective and sensitive, yet with some gentle persuasion, he is happy to discuss his wines, his vineyards and his winemaking. His uncle was the late great Henri Jayer from whom he had learned enormously. In fact, Emmanuel had been tending Henri's vineyards and making his wines when his uncle retired in 1991. But he also hasbeen making his own wines since 1985 with his own parcels of vines some of which border those of Henri. His style is not dissimilar to his uncle's. They are pure, old fashioned and complex with a streakof undeniable wildness. They are often difficult to taste from barrel, but with time, their pedigree reveals itself.Read less

Region
Echézeaux
One of two Grand Crus within the Flagey-Echezeaux area right in the heart of the Cote de Nuits. Relatively large and consequently diverse for a Grand Cru, the better Echézeaux wines undoubtedly deserve this status. As always in Burgundy vineyard location and grower is critical.
