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 2001
The 2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Échézeaux Grand Cru is a highly prestigious, mature red Burgundy wine crafted entirely from Pinot Noir.
Known for being the fastest-maturing and lightest of the DRC Grand Cru lineup, this specific vintage is currently in its prime drinking window, offering a beautiful balance of mature, rustic structure and classic Burgundy elegance.
The producers released 16,424 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux in 2001.
Be careful not to confuse this bottle with its costlier, sibling parcel, the DRC Grands Échézeaux 2001.
While they share the same producer and vintage, the Grands Échézeaux generally commands a higher price tag, delivers deeper complexity, and features a tighter, slightly superior structural density.
Finally, Arden Fine Wines in London offers the DRC Échézeaux 2001.
