DRC Grands Échézeaux 1990
The 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru is a legendary, monumental Burgundy Pinot Noir from what is widely considered one of the greatest, most iconic vintages of the 20th century.
The 1990 growing season in Burgundy was blessed with a hot summer, yielding perfectly ripe, concentrated grapes with thick skins.
Unlike the trickier 1994 or the structural, austere 1993, the 1990 vintage produced deep-coloured, incredibly rich, and flamboyant wines.
It has aged into an opulent, breathtakingly complex masterpiece that represents the very pinnacle of matured Grands Échézeaux.
DRC owns roughly 3.53 hectares of the Grands Échézeaux vineyard, yielding limited annual production numbers.
Overall, DRC created 10,972 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux in 1990.
As a result, this vintage is very scarce now.
