✨ Technical Specifications
The 2020 Échezeaux Grand Cru represents a masterclass in navigating an exceptionally warm and dry Burgundy growing season. Harvested in late August—one of the earliest starts in the region's modern history—this vintage yielded small, concentrated berries of remarkable intensity. Sourced from the estate's parcels within the Les Poulaillères and Clos St-Denis climats, the wine is crafted entirely from Pinot Noir and aged in new French oak casks. The 2020 expression is defined by a brooding, dark-fruit profile of black cherries and damson plums, interwoven with signature notes of dried rose petals, Asian spices, and forest floor. Despite the solar nature of the vintage, the wine retains a striking, vibrant acidity and a dense, muscular tannic structure that ensures a legendary cellaring potential.
🍾 About the Producer
With a lineage tracing back to the Benedictine monks of Saint-Vivant and later immortalized by the Prince de Conti in the 18th century, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti stands as the pinnacle of fine winemaking. Situated in the celebrated village of Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, the estate is co-owned by the de Villaine and Leroy/Roch families. Farming exclusively through rigorous biodynamic practices with low yields and meticulous whole-cluster vinification, the domaine seeks total transparency of terroir. It produces some of the world's most coveted and profound Grand Cru Pinot Noir wines, headlined by the legendary monopoles Romanée-Conti and La Tâche alongside storied climats like Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and Échezeaux.
