Domaine de la Romanee Conti Echezeaux 2012

DRC's 2012 Echezeaux is intensely and captivatingly aromatic, a Grand Cru Pinot Noir that is already delicious and open while retaining real Grand Cru concentration.

Intensely and captivatingly aromatic, the wine offers black and red cherry, whole-cluster spice and classic Vosne spice character. The palate echoes the nose with good Grand Cru concentration for the vintage, seamless fruit and structure. Delicious and open from the outset, it develops further with air, showing slightly floral notes, dried strawberries and hints of crumbled chestnut.
