Grands Echézeaux 2013 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 BT)

Grands Echézeaux 2013

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

21.5 hl/hectare. Only Romanée Conti itself has vines that are a mite older. In 2013, this was the first of the Côte de Nuits vineyards to be harvested. In 2016, a rich, cassis nose, intense and intriguing. Quite a tannic structure on the palate, with a touch of oak to match and a sweet, forest floor aftertaste. Firm spiciness in reserve, ready to pounce after suitable bottle age.
