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 1970
The 1970 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échézeaux Grand Cru is generally considered, therefore, a savoury and classic red wine made from the Pinot Noir grape variety.
Furthermore, the producer, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, has noted that the 1970 vintage is faster-maturing than its other wines, exhibiting a “seductive tenderness” over a firm structure.
In addition, community tasting notes from CellarTracker for the Grands Échézeaux 1970 (a neighbouring, more complex wine) offer a glimpse into the vintage’s potential, describing a wine with a light color and notes of red fruit, clove spice, and a “wild side.”
Moreover, reviewers have noted a bouquet of dried rose, forest floor, Hoisin, soy, and smoked meats, accompanied by a silky palate.
As a result, a well-kept bottle can be “immensely satisfying.”
