Description

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or simply ‘DRC’, is undoubtedly the most prestigious wine producer in Burgundy. The famous estate is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families and produces only grand cru wines, such as this Grands-Echézeaux from a 3.53-hectare parcel. The 2019 was a hot vintage in Burgundy – comparable to the famously hot 2003 – and produced perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. This is reflected on this cuvée, which reveals a lovely cherry and strawberry character, silky tannins and a warm, soothing sweetness on the finish.
