Neal Martin, January 2020, Score: 92-94
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet of opulent dark cherries and briary notes, the 70-80% new oak beautifully integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red fruit on the entry, laced with blood orange, white pepper and touches of sage and bay leaf. There is a bit of new oak to be integrated on the finish, so give this several years in bottle. 2024 - 2045

Burghound, January 2020, Score: 92-94
This too is very ripe yet manages to retain good freshness on the restrained nose of red berry liqueur along with a beautiful array of spice, exotic tea and sandalwood elements. The supple, round and seductively textured mid-palate possess fine volume and density that contrasts markedly with the powerful, muscular and robust finish that flashes hints of acidulated bon bons that adds a refreshing hint. Patience is again suggested as this is quite firm. Drink 2033+

Wine Advocate, January 2020, Score: 93-95
The 2018 Échezeaux Grand Cru Les Rouges du Bas is a gourmand, dramatic wine this year, bursting from the glass with aromas of cassis, sweet berries, wood smoke, rich soil tones, burnin embers and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and expansive, with an ample core of sapid and exotic fruit, velvety tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long and perfumed finish.
Producer
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
When Jean-Nicolas Méo arrived in 1989 he had very big shoes to fill. Henri Jayer, arguably Burgundy’s preeminent vigneron, had managed the domaine for the previous four decades under a share-cropping agreement with the Méo family. Since then Jean-Nicolas has more than met the challenge. Following meticulous viticultural and winemaking practices he creates wonderful wines with fine levels of concentration, and today, almost three decades since his ascension, it ranks in the upper echelons of the Burgundy firmament. The majority of wines are red, ranging from Bougogne Rouge up to their ultra-famous Cros Parantoux and outstanding Richebourg. But Jean-Nicolas also makes a miniscule production of white wine. He began planting the Chardonnay for his Clos St. Philibert on steep slopes overlooking Nuit St. Georges over 25 years ago from carefully selected Chardonnay clones. Domaine Méo-Camuzet has expanded its line of 'vins de négoce' in recent years. These wines are bottled under the 'Méo-Camuzet Frères et Soeurs' label.

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.
