About this wine

Grands-Échezeaux sits next to the Clos de Vougeot and gives the domaine a firm, deeply coloured wine with more structure than its Échezeaux. It needs time and rewards a decade or more in the cellar.

About Domaine de la Romanee-Conti

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, in the village of Vosne-Romanée, is widely regarded as the greatest wine estate in Burgundy. It is jointly owned by the de Villaine and Leroy-Roch families and makes almost only Grand Cru wines.

The domaine owns the whole of two legendary vineyards, Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, as well as parcels of Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Grands-Échezeaux, Échezeaux, Corton and Le Montrachet. The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically with very low yields, and the small quantities made are allocated, making its wines among the rarest and most sought after in the world.
