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 1999
The 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Échézeaux Grand Cru is one of the finest vintages for this specific vineyard.
While Échézeaux often matures the fastest in the DRC wine portfolio, the 1999 vintage has shown exceptional longevity and currently sits in its prime drinking window.
The nose features “stemmy” aromatics typical of DRC, including dark cherry, truffle, exotic spice, tea leaves, and hints of blood orange.
On the palate, it presents a medium to full-bodied experience with a supple and seamless structure.
Wine enthusiasts note its ripe fruit flavors and superb smoothness.
Although it is beautiful to drink now, its structure allows it to last for several more decades.
Producers bottled 14,651 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux in 1999.
