"It is several years since I last tasted the 1985 Grands Echézeaux from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. It has a beguiling, feminine nose that can disarm you from the other side of a room. The mineralité here is totally absorbing, to such an extent that you almost miss the purity of the red cherries and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is extremely focused, underpinned by filigree tannin and a gorgeous fleshiness typical of this vintage (in the right hands.) There is a sense of build to this Grands Echézeaux that leaves you totally in awe of its prowess. "

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Grands-Echezeaux is a Grand Cru near Vosne-Romanee in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits, producing refined, harmonious Pinot Noir reds that are richer and more structured than neighboring Echezeaux, with silky depth and long aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
