The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Grands Échézeaux is a highly sought-after Grand Cru red Burgundy.
The Grands Échezeaux vineyard produces is a 3.53-hectare parcel.
You can expect typical aromas of red and black fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, along with floral notes, earth, and spices.
As the wine ages, it evolves into more complex notes of musk, leather, fur, and mushroom.
Eventually, the wine presents a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and refined tannins.
Wines from Grands Échezeaux typically command a higher price and exhibit greater complexity and structure.
In comparison to DRC’s Échezeaux cuvée, the wine from Grands Échezeaux generally presents more complexity and harmony.
Ultimately, DRC Grands Échezeaux showcases extraordinary ageing potential, requiring you to wait at least four to five years.
DRC Grands Échezeaux 1970
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux 1970 is a rare and highly valued fine wine from Burgundy.
It is available from award-winning specialist Arden Fine Wines.
Community tasting notes on CellarTracker mention wonderful dried rose and forest floor aromatics.
Moreover, they highlight hints of hoisin, soy, smoked meats, red fruit, clove spice, and a “wild side”.
The producer’s notes highlight a delightful clarity of expression.
In addition, they emphasise seductive tenderness.
Reviewers describe a silky texture accompanied by savoury nuances and well-integrated structural elements.
Although some bottles may show fading sweetness, well-preserved examples maintain a good “spine” and freshness.
According to the producer, this wine is the “fastest maturing and least complex” of their 1970 offerings.
Thus, they designed it to open earlier than other DRC grand crus.
However, many mature DRC wines can remain fantastic for over 40 years if stored correctly, like this one at Arden Fine Wines.
In 1970, the winery produced 18,801 bottles of DRC Grands Échezeaux.
