Grands Echézeaux 2003 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 BT)

Grands Echézeaux 2003

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent level, label marked; Excellent niveau, étiquette marquée

This is the lowest yielding (13 hl/hectare from very old vines) of the Grands Crus in 2003 and this shows in the lovely 'wild' nose of real blackberry intensity. Great black fruit juiciness on the palate. Touch of oak at the end. Crunchy black fruit all the way through. Fine textured, which is an achievement in this extreme year. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
