DRC Grands Echézeaux 2002 is a full-bodied red wine from the Grand Cru climat of Grands Echézeaux in the Côte de Nuits. With a rich heritage that goes back to the 16th century, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti needs no introduction. The estate, which is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families, is the largest proprietor of Grand Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. The domaine has always cultivated its vines according to the principles of organic farming and in 2017 obtained the Biodyvin biodynamic certification. On the 2002 Grands Echézeaux. "This is still exceptionally youthful with wonderfully spicy and highly complex red Pinot fruit aromas that are enhanced by subtle nuances of floral notes, damp earth, underbrush and even a hint of game. The big, muscular but utterly refined full-bodied flavours are superbly intense, reserved and backward yet not hard as there is plenty of sap that buffers the firm but remarkably sophisticated tannins on the stunningly lengthy finish. This is a very concentrated wine of real breed and impeccable balance that should age for at least 3 decades and perhaps longer. A most impressive Grands Ech that is very much still on the way up." Burghound, 2017

The 2002 Grands-Echézeaux was more aromatic, higher-toned and feminine in its personality. It, too, was quite pretty. Antonio Galloni1st February 2012
