Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet: black cherries, hints of blueberry, violet and iris flower that blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of dark chocolate on the entry, a fine bead of acidity, quite lush in style yet it retains control from start to finish. Fine mineralité comes through with time. Too often undervalued by cognoscenti, this is a wonderful Echézeaux.

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Pinot Noir harvest concluded on 11-12 September with the 2022 Échézeaux Grand Cru, a fleshy and expressive wine that bursts with aromas of sweet dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of incense, orange zest, exotic spices and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and flamboyant, with a layered, juicy core of fruit, it concludes with a broad, sapid finish.
About the Producer
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or DRC is one of the most prestigious wine estates in the world with 25.5 hectares mostly in Vosne-Romanée on the route des Grands Crus in the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits of the Burgundy vineyards (named after the 1.8 hectare Clos de la Romanée-Conti, one of the most prestigious mythical grands crus in the world). The civil company of the same name was founded in 1942 by Edmond Gaudin de Villaine. It is now co-managed for their heir family by the winegrowers Aubert de Villaine and Perrine Fenal.
