The 2023 Grands-Échézeaux Grand Cru was cropped at 43.6 hl/ha (around the same as in 2022) on September 7 and 8, then on September 17. As expected, there is another dimension on the nose that is immediately appreciated: more depth, the fruit leaning into the red side of the spectrum, touches of incense and musk in the background, more floral compared to the Échézeaux. Again, wonderful definition. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fewer corners than the Echézeaux, more fluidity. Boasting fine depth and wondrous mineralité throughout, this is a captivating Grands-Échézeaux. Hints of dried blood/ferrous elements furnish the finish as they did out of barrel, completing a quite profound wine that challenges the notional supremacy of the Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Outstanding. 17,868 bottles produced.(NM)

A rich and even purple, a wealth of raspberry fruit without individual detail as yet. Here though there are additional dimensions, and one can see where the perfume will arise later. Some bright red cherry notes, better acidity. A little lifted strawberry at the back, as the stems add their character. This seems balanced and very solid. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Oct 2024.

This is a wine on a completely different plane, with tightly wound mulberry and plum fruit and hints of mineral, briar and earth on the nose. The texture is dense and powerful, with firm, tight-grained tannins, abundant extract, and an impressively long finish. The overall evolution is less ‘fruity’ and more ‘brooding’. This wine will begin to open fully in 10 years, and continue to improve for another 40 years after that. 17,686 bottles produced.(CC)

Like the Echézeaux and Corton, the fresh oak is particularly marked on the nose and palate this year. Toast, fireplace embers and black plum preserves pump out of the glass. The style is vastly different from the Echézeaux, which is more vinous, while this is more muscular— defensive linemen sort of muscle, too. It's a massive mouthful of wine with ripe black fruits nuanced by flourishes of dark chocolate and underbrush. Bramble and cherries flush into the long finish framed by feathery tannins and soaring acidity. This needs at least seven to eight years and deserves at least a decade.

By contrast, the Grands-Echézeaux leaned more in the red fruit and floral direction. It was silky and very intense, with a bit more grain to its tannins and more complexity than its sibling (96 points, non-blind).

Note: from a holding of 3.53 ha of 55+ year old vines. This is also markedly floral but aromatically more restrained with its nose of plum, dark cherry, kirsch and equally exotically spiced nose and in particular, there is ample tea influence. There is both excellent detail and energy to the bigger-bodied and broad-shouldered but not necessarily denser flavors that conclude in a superbly persistent and powerful finish where a similar hint of warmth eventually emerges. As it often is at this stage, this is backward and compact but perhaps a bit less austere than usual. Very promising.

For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.
It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.
We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.
