Considered the pinnacle of Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti produces some of the world’s most revered wines from its tiny vineyards in Vosne-Romanee. Grands-Echezeaux is a Grand Cru vineyard yielding sublime wines that are among the world’s most highly sought, seductive, and rarest. Deepish pale-rimmed red, with a nose of a different character, richer, denser. Cool, yes, but lingering, glass-filling, fruit-core suggestive. A rich medium-weight, freshly defined, very fine in tannin, with a notable breadth for 2021; cool, elegant, poised, and adding to La Tâche’s great class, a clear, supplemental fruit sweep for the year. Complex, vital, racy; not perhaps the seductively fleshy amplitude and immediacy it often has, but the scope is there: finesse, poise, class, ripe red-fruit vitality, a marked aromatic expanse, and great length. Full of medium- to long-term promise; drink 2032–45.
