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 2019 was a hot vintage in Burgundy – comparable to the famously hot 2003 – and produced perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. This is reflected on this cuvée, which reveals a lovely cherry and strawberry character, silky tannins and a warm, soothing sweetness on the finish.

The 2019 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru is absolutely stunning. It is also the first wine in this tasting that feels less marked by the vintage, where there is a good deal of freshness to play off all the natural richness of the vintage. There is plenty of power and volume, and yet all the elements are so well-balanced. Blood orange, menthol, coffee and layers of red/purplish-toned fruit all meld together seamlessly. In richer years the Grands Echézeaux is often one of my favorite wines in the range, as is the case once again with the 2019. Of course, all of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti wines are frightfully expensive today, but if there is one hidden gem in the range in 2019, it is without question the Grands Echézeaux. It’s the wine I would personally go after most given its quality, personality and relatively – and I do mean relatively – modest price next to the other wines here.Antonio Galloni30th June 2022
