There was some heat on the nose and palate as well as showing some Sta. Rita Hills fruit characteristics. Structure was lacking but it is still quite wound up with good complexity and length. This definitely stood out as a #grandcru but too much ripeness could hurt its ability to age well. #grandesechezeaux #josephdrouhin #burgundy #pinotnoir #côtedenuits #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Heavy structure for 2000. Big abv, tannin, and acidity. Almost like a rhone on the nose with roasted fruit, anise, chocolate and above statement. Back and mid palate were very dry though. #grandesechezeaux #josephdrouhin #burgundy — 9 years ago
