DRC Grands Échézeaux 1954
The 1954 vintage for Burgundy overall was not a strong year…
The conditions were rainy, and yields were high, which typically results in diluted, watery wine.
However, the success of the vintage varied significantly by estate, with some exceptional wines produced by leading producers.
Despite the difficult conditions, the better red wines showed good tannin structures and acidity, giving them a degree of aging potential.
Availability of the 1954 DRC Grands Échezeaux is extremely limited.
It is a rare bottle to find due to its age and the poor quality of the vintage.
The price for this vintage is significantly lower than for other, more desirable vintages of DRC Grands Échezeaux.
Nonetheless, DRC hold that their Grands-Echézeaux is perhaps the longest-lived of all their wines.
In 1954, they produced 12,160 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échezeaux.
