For many fine wine afficionados Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is the pinnacle of wine. Run by the indefatigable Aubert de Villaine, the domaine consists of 25 hectares of biodynamically tended vineyards, all of which are of Grand Cru classification and includes some of the greatest terroirs in Burgundy. 2001 was a cooler vintage from which just 873 cases of Grands-Échézeaux were produced. This should be at best for drinking now or over the next 2-3 years.

Similar full red color. Much less expressive on the nose than the Echezeaux and a bit less pristine; hints of violet and nuts. Then fuller and sweeter in the mouth, with more volume but a bit less verve. Finishes fat and long. — Stephen Tanzer, 1st March 2004

Pale ruby with more development at the rim than the Échezeaux has. Light, sweet, bonbon nose. Hint of violets. Delicate and sweet and with sufficient fruit to cover the tannins. Great balance. Very flattering – the most forward DRC 2001 red. Finishes firm. Charm on the finish even if it finishes dry. A little softer than most DRC 2001s. The easiest to appreciate. Some sweetness. (JR) — Jancis Robinson, 7th December 2011
