Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or simply ‘DRC’, is undoubtedly the most prestigious wine producer in Burgundy. The famous estate is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families and produces only grand cru wines, such as this Grands-Echézeaux from a 3.53-hectare parcel. The 2017 vintage was fermented with 100% whole bunches and shows more grip and density than the Échézeaux cuvée. Built to age, it`s a beautifully textured expression, with notes of wild strawberries, forest floor, white pepper and refreshing minerality.

Vinous
The 2017 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru is a pretty big step up in this range, both in terms of depth, power and energy. Here the flavors are dark, while there is quite a bit of tannin lurking beneath. Black cherry, graphite, leather, smoke, spice and menthol infuse the 2017 with tons of virile, somber character. Readers will have to be very patient. A whole range of sepia-toned aromas and flavors shrouded in tannin add depth to an imposing Grands-Echézeaux built for cellaring. Harvest was on September 12.Antonio Galloni1st July 2020
