Moreover, tasting notes often mention an “explosive nose of rose water” and a “gloriously lifted, elegant, expressive, and ethereal bouquet of red roses, underbrush, dark cherry, and spice.”
Additionally, critics describe the palate as soft and tingly with plenty of red fruit power, and a very long aftertaste.
Finally, in 1971, the winery produced 10,430 bottles of DRC Grands Échézeaux.
