In contrast to the 1993 Nuits AC from Domaine Georges Jayer, which may now be carrying just a bit too much new wood for its own good, the balance on the 1993 Echézeaux is absolutely impeccable and the wine is a brilliant example of this outstanding vintage. The deep and utterly stunning nose soars from the glass in a blaze of cherries, raspberries, Vosne spice tones, orange zest, duck, summer truffles, forest floor, a touch of fresh nutmeg and a discreet framing of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a lovely sense of sappiness, superb soil inflection, tangy acids, modest tannins and superb length and grip on the complex and utterly refined finish. A monument to the long and glorious career of the Maestro, Henri Jayer!
