"The 2020 Grands-Échézeaux Grand Cru is a remarkable young wine, revealing aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, mingled with notes of orange zest, exotic spices, and rose petals. Ample, seamlessly integrated, and complete, it offers a fleshy palate of great complexity that stretches into a long, penetrating, and saline finish. The concentration of fruit is such that its tannins—though rich and powdery—become almost imperceptible. Over the last decade, Grands-Échézeaux has tended to remain in the shadow of Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg; that is certainly not the case for this 2020 vintage." — William Kelley
The Grand Échezeaux Grand Cru from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti embodies one of the most monumental and aristocratic expressions of the Côte de Nuits. Located in the heart of the commune of Flagey-Échezeaux, this plot—spanning just over 3.5 hectares—rests upon an exceptional terroir characterized by deep, perfectly drained clay-limestone soils. The estate applies the principles of biodynamic viticulture with absolute rigor, nurturing mature vines that draw a rare complexity from the subsoil. The result is a Pinot Noir of majestic structure, boasting a deep hue and an enchanting aromatic bouquet, in which notes of black cherry, truffle, and sweet spices intertwine with delicate hints of the forest floor.
