DRC Grands Échézeaux 1980

The 1980 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru is an exceptional, historic Burgundy Pinot Noir.
It comes from one of the finest “underdog” vintages of its era.
In 1980, Burgundy experienced an incredibly cold, dreary summer and a wet September, leading many producers to panic and harvest too early.
However, October brought a late burst of warm sunshine, and those who delayed picking—like DRC—harvested highly concentrated grapes with superb acid structures.
While most red Burgundies from 1980 were light and faded quickly, DRC’s have spent over four decades evolving into a complex, sweet, and wonderfully aromatic classics.
Overall, DRC created 10,792 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux in 1980.
As a result, this vintage is very scarce now.
