DRC Echezeaux Grand Cru 2019 Red

Curated Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with provenance from Burgdy.

The 2019 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux Grand Cru is a stunning example of Burgundy's finest. This wine showcases a bright ruby color and a complex bouquet of blackberries, raspberries, and exotic spices, with hints of orange rind and forest floor. On the palate, it reveals a seductive tenderness overlaying a firm structure, with ripe, powdery tannins providing broad structural shoulders. Renowned wine critic William Kelley describes it as "full-bodied, rich and ample, with a broad, textural attack that segues into a deep and concentrated mid-palate and a long, saline finish". Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs alike, the 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru is a testament to the superior quality of the Côte de Nuits terroir. A beautifully layered nose assembles very fresh notes of red currant, violet, lavender and earth undertones. There is both good punch and delineation to the succulent and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mid-palate that contrasts markedly with the dusty, focused and youthfully austere finish that is sufficiently firm to make clear that this is going to require at least moderate patience.
