The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Échézeaux is a highly sought-after Grand Cru red Burgundy from the historic Échézeaux vineyard.
Made from Pinot Noir, this wine stands out as one of the more powerful and robust offerings from the DRC portfolio while still maintaining a sense of elegance.
The Echézeaux vineyard sits on the slopes above Grands Échezeaux, between the villages of Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot.
The soil in the Échezeaux climats (plots) features a more diverse and complex composition than that of Grands Échezeaux.
It consists of Bajocian marls mixed with gravel and alluvial deposits, exhibiting varying altitudes and gradients.
DRC cultivates approximately 4.67 hectares of the Echézeaux vineyard, which spans a total area of about 37.69 hectares.
The majority of DRC’s holdings focus on a highly regarded plot called Les Poulaillaires.
Wine enthusiasts consider the wines from DRC’s Échezeaux plots exquisite examples of top-tier Burgundy.
They showcase bright red fruit, spice, and savoury characteristics.
DRC Échézeaux 1958
The 1958 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échézeaux is a rare and highly sought-after red Burgundy wine made from 100% Pinot Noir.
According to notes from the producer – Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) – the 1958 Échézeaux is noted for being, in fact, the fastest-maturing and least complex of the wines produced by the domaine during that vintage.
Furthermore, the producer’s notes mention a “seductive tenderness” and “delightful clarity of expression,” with a firm structure that, consequently, allows for an elegant evolution.
Additionally, DRC describes the standard Échézeaux as the “little brother” of the Grands Échézeaux; however, it can sometimes approach the style of the latter in terms of “muscularity and power.”
In 1958, they produced, notably, 12,008 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux.
