Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru

The Grands Échézeaux from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is a Grand Cru of immense quality and concentration. Situated in the Côte de Nuits, this vineyard consistently produces a more structured and deeper wine than its neighbour, Echézeaux, reflecting a homogenous, high-quality terroir. It is a benchmark for fine Pinot Noir, made with the DRC's legendary precision, including biodynamic farming and rigorous selection.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• **Colour:** A deep, vibrant ruby, maturing into a distinguished garnet.
• **Aroma:** Highly complex, featuring a blend of dark red and black fruits, exotic spices, rose petals, and earthy, truffled forest floor notes. Superb delineation and focus are its hallmarks.
• **Palate:** Rich, concentrated, and velvety, with fine-grained, assertive tannins providing a firm backbone. It offers a wonderful dimension and persistence on the finish, displaying purity and elegance that is impossible to replicate.

Serving Suggestion & Food Matching

This exceptional Grand Cru should be served slightly cool, 16°C-18°C (60°F-64°F), and ideally decanted after many years in bottle. Pair with the very best of British and European gastronomy.

• **Food Matches:** Roast Venison Haunch with a rich reduction, Pheasant with bread sauce, or a slow-cooked beef fillet with a truffle crust.
• **Cellaring:** A true 'wine for the ages', demanding patience to fully appreciate its tertiary evolution.
