DRC Grands Échezeaux 1969
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux 1969 is a rare and highly valued fine wine from Burgundy.
It is available from award-winning specialist Arden Fine Wines.
Interestingly, the 1969 vintage for Burgundy wines has varied reviews, with some finding the wines to be tiring.
However, other reviews note lovely, scented aromas.
The wine features a highly aromatic bouquet of red and dark fruits with notes of oak and spice.
Moreover, specific tasting notes from critics have mentioned a lovely scented varietal nose with wisps of sous-bois (forest floor), spice, and game.
In fact, the producer’s (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) own tasting notes for the Echézeaux (Grands Echézeaux’s “little brother”) mention a seductive tenderness overlaying a firm structure that allows it to evolve with elegance.
In 1969, the winery produced 14,101 bottles of DRC Grands Échezeaux.
