Situated in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – often abbreviated to DRC – is widely considered among the world`s greatest wine producers. The cult domaine is named after its most famous vineyard, Romanée-Conti, which covers just 1.81 hectares of vines on the mid-slope of the Côte d`Or. DRC is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families and produces only grand cru wines, such as this Échezeaux, made from a 4.67-hectare vineyard holding. The 2011 vintage is packed with purple fruit, coffee beans, spices, violets and earthy notes. The tannins are very fine, and the acidity is crisp.

Vinous
Good bright, dark red. Pungent, deep, ripe aromas of redcurrant, minerals and graphite. A sweet, plush Echezeaux with a sexy juicy quality to its complex flavors of redcurrant, red cherry, spices and tobacco. Fine-grained, minerally and cool in the middle palate. Ripe and rich but with a restrained sweetness. The tactile back end nicely combines thickness and energy. An Echezeaux of finesse. Incidentally, Aubert de Villaine describes the 2011s in general as supple and hedonistic wines with hidden charms.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2014
