Domaine de la Romanee Conti Grands Echezeaux 2002

From a vintage prized by Burgundy connoisseurs, DRC's 2002 Grands Echezeaux is a concentrated Grand Cru Pinot Noir of real breed and impeccable balance.

Still exceptionally youthful with wonderfully spicy and highly complex red pinot fruit aromas, this is a very concentrated wine of real breed and impeccable balance, built to age for at least three decades and perhaps longer. The structure remains vivid, with fine tannins framing pure red and dark cherry fruit.
