DRC Grands Échezeaux 1963
The Grands Échezeaux 1963 was produced by the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

The Burgundy region experienced a generally disappointing 1963 vintage.
However, wine critics noted the DRC Grands Échezeaux as a surprisingly successful exception, earning praise.
Wine expert Michael Boadbent observed that the year began with a promising start and had a late finish that also seemed promising.
As a fully mature wine, its characteristics showcase tertiary aromas and complex, aged flavours.
According to a post on WineBerserkers, a tasting in 2013 described the wine as a “stunning effort for the vintage,” with a nose of caramel and spices and middle-weight flavours of brown sugar, earth, and truffle.
The wine pairs well with duck, goose, and game birds.
Ultimately, the DRC winery crafted 14,169 bottles of Grands Échezeaux 1963.
