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.

DRC Échézeaux 1995
The 1995 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Échézeaux is a savoury and classic Pinot Noir red wine with a firm structure that allows it to age gracefully.
Initially, the expressive nose has notes of cassis, redcurrant, and black cherry, intermingled with spicy oak, truffle, and espresso.
Then, on the palate it is dense and ripe, with a gentle texture and nicely smoothed tannins.
Overall, this vintage is considered fully mature and drinking well now, though high-quality bottles like these at Arden Fine Wines may still be enjoyed over the next decade.
Its savoury flavours makes it an ideal match for roast duck or goose; game birds; or beef shank.
Producers bottled 12,268 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux in 1995.
