The 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echézeaux Grand Cru offers a focused expression of Burgundy`s terroir. DRC possesses a 4.67-hectare plot within the expansive Echézeaux vineyard. The 1996 growing season gifted wines with notable acidity and structure, resulting in wines of considerable age-worthiness. This vintage is characterised by a clear, layered profile of red fruit, earthiness and floral notes. The magnum size provides a unique opportunity for further maturation, allowing for the development of nuanced complexities over time.

Vinous
Good red-ruby. Currant, red plum, wild strawberry, tobacco and tar on the nose, plus a faint gamey quality. Juicy and penetrating, but quite closed today. Very persistent on the finish, but the tannins are a bit tough. Conveys an impression of rather vigorous extraction.Stephen Tanzer1st March 1999
