2014 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Echezeaux Grand Cru 750ml

In the pantheon of Burgundian grandeur, the 2014 Echezeaux from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti emerges as an exemplar of meticulous vineyard stewardship and enlightened winemaking. This vintage encapsulates a favourable growing season in Burgundy, with a happy confluence of early flowering, timely harvests and the avoidance of extremities that so often besiege this northerly clime. A Reflection of Terroir and Time The 2014 vintage is particularly distinguished by its poised expression of Echezeaux's complex terroir. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, whose very name evokes reverence among collectors and connoisseurs alike, oversees a patchwork of lieux-dits (named vineyard plots) within the grand cru, allowing for a nuanced tapestry of flavour that is both compelling and multifaceted in its 2014 rendition.

It opens before the others, displaying a delightful clarity of expression: a seductive tenderness overlays a firm structure which allows it to evolve with elegance. Grands-Echézeaux's little brother it sometimes approaches its style in terms of muscularity and power." - Domaine de la Romanee-Conti
