DRC Grands Échezeaux 1959
The DRC Grands Échezeaux 1959 is a vintage Pinot Noir from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, a highly collectible and famous wine producer in Burgundy.
The producer describes it as the fastest maturing and least complex of their wines; furthermore, it displays a delightful clarity of expression with a seductive tenderness and firm structure.
Moreover, the 1959 vintage is considered one of the best, producing a rich and powerful yet elegant wine that has aged gracefully, characterised by a light to medium ruby colour and a light to medium body.
While the wine is fully mature, an expert tasting note by Robert Parker describes it as a decadent and stunning experience; in fact, there are no signs of fatigue or oxidation.
In addition, the colour is a light- to medium-ruby with considerable amber.
Additionally, the nose has a stunning bouquet of smoked meats, herbs, oriental spices, and sweet jammy fruit.
On the palate, it is an expansive, sweet, and viscous wine with a high alcohol content, thus offering “extraordinary pleasure.”
In 1959, the winery produced 17,556 bottles of DRC Grands Échezeaux.
