Domaine de la Romanee-Conti are considered by many to be the finest producer of wine in the world. Their vineyards are concentrated around the village of Vosne-Romanee & include some of the most sought after Grand Crus in Burgundy.

A rich, explosive wine, the 2012 Échézeaux is a real overachiever. Here the flavors are expansive, dense and layered, with all of the intensity of the year very much in evidence. Discussing the relative merits of vineyards is one of the central aspects of appreciating Burgundy. This tasting shows why Échézeaux is not as highly regarded as some other grand crus. Specifically, the quality of the wines is more vintage dependent here than it is elsewhere. - Antonio Galloni - The 2012 Echézeaux Grand Cru was a potent, tightly wound wine when it was young. Its essential personality has not changed all that much since then! I am shocked to see how incisive the tannins still are. Once past that, the 2012 is deep, youthful and full of energy. At the outset, I was optimistic the 2012 would one day find a more finessed register. Today, I am not sure that will ever happen, the wine's considerable beauty notwithstanding.

Mid depth of crimson. Immediately much nervier and more savoury than the Corton just before it. Open and transparent with great savour and just a hint of milky coffee. But chiefly this is muscular and racy. Great energy and surprisingly open. It would be dangerously easy to drink it already. Presumably it will close up…? Not much change after 45 minutes though the energy is still impressive. (JR)
