2022 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 96

Whereas the Echezeaux is refined, the 2022 Grands Echezeaux is quite powerful. A firm spine of tannin gives the 2022 the explosive vertical feel of a skyscraper. Dark red fruit, licorice, incense and dried herbs begin to appear with time in the glass. The 2022 is a Burgundy for readers who can be patient. Some of the DRC 2022s will drink well on release, but the Grands-Echezeaux is not among them. It needs time. [Antonio Galloni, 25/03/2025]
