2021 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 92

The 2021 Echezeaux Grand Cru is bright and nervy, but also very nicely lifted, with pretty aromatics that make a strong opening statement. Crushed flowers, sage, mint, red-toned fruit, orange peel and sweet pipe tobacco are all delineated. There is some angularity to the contours. Bottle age will help, but I expect the 2021 will always be a rather tense Echezeaux. Aeration works quite well here. [Antonio Galloni, 12/03/2024]
