What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Winemakers Notes

Domaine de la Romanée Conti own 3.53ha of the 9.14 hectares of GrandsEchézeaux, whose soil is influenced by the downwash from le Musigny above - thewines have a little more flesh and are more consistent year in year out thanEchézeaux.

BH 89 (1/2006):(approximately 45 year old vines from 2 different climats, 90% of which is in Les Poulaillères and the other 10% is in Clos St. Denis; there was a lot of replanting done here in the decades of the sixties and seventies - from yields of 18 hl/ha) Exceptionally ripe and plumy with floral aromas that stop just short of being overtly surmature nuanced with spice, anise and warm earth that lead to rich, fat and very sweet, indeed even opulent flavors that are quite seductive but not overly complex. This is much riper than usual and finishes with a slight touch of chewy rusticity. This is clearly read more...

IWC 90 (4/2006): Deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of dark raspberry, chocolate and underbrush, along with an exotic floral quality. Large-scaled, concentrated and round, with impressive volume. Slightly roasted flavors of currant, chocolate, tobacco and underbrush. Finishes with substantial fine tannins and a sense of solidity. This should offer early appeal.

Deep ruby-red. Pure aromas of blackberry and flowers; less reduced than the Echezeaux. Sweet, rich and succulent, with strong cherry fruit. Large-scaled wine with a huge tannic structure. The '03s don't oxidize at all when they're removed from barrel... Stephen Tanzer. A Pinot Noir wine from Burgundy in France. 2003 Romanee Conti, Domaine de la Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru 750ml
