The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Échézeaux is a highly sought-after Grand Cru red Burgundy from the historic Échézeaux vineyard.
Made from Pinot Noir, this wine stands out as one of the more powerful and robust offerings from the DRC portfolio while still maintaining a sense of elegance.
The Echézeaux vineyard sits on the slopes above Grands Échezeaux, between the villages of Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot.
The soil in the Échezeaux climats (plots) features a more diverse and complex composition than that of Grands Échezeaux.
It consists of Bajocian marls mixed with gravel and alluvial deposits, exhibiting varying altitudes and gradients.
DRC cultivates approximately 4.67 hectares of the Echézeaux vineyard, which spans a total area of about 37.69 hectares.
The majority of DRC’s holdings focus on a highly regarded plot called Les Poulaillaires.
Wine enthusiasts consider the wines from DRC’s Échezeaux plots exquisite examples of top-tier Burgundy.
They showcase bright red fruit, spice, and savoury characteristics.
DRC Échézeaux 1976
The 1976 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Échézeaux Grand Cru is a highly regarded vintage that has aged exceptionally well.
While DRC considers Échézeaux its least complex wine, the 1976 vintage surprises with its energy and structure, even decades after bottling.
Well-stored bottles like these at Arden Fine Wines still offer wine enthusiasts a remarkable experience.
The complex nose features brambly red fruit, Earl Grey tea, black truffle, and gingerbread.
The palate provides a silky mouthfeel with fully resolved tannins.
Overall, this is now a fully mature wine that shows more tertiary aromas and flavours than fruits.
