Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 1992 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru came directly from the domaine and yet I find it very disappointing. Unmistakably green on the nose, it is clear that the fruit did not achieve phenolic ripeness, whilst the palate is harsh with raw tannins and a rather vegetal finish. Just a poor wine. Tasted at a private dinner at home.
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.
