Echézeaux 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 JM30)

Echézeaux 1999

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent level and appearance, straw wrapped, case banded until inspection; Excellent niveau et apparence, emballé avec de la paille, caisse cerclée d'origine jusqu'à l'inspection

31hl/hectare were produced this year. Incredible scented nose. Heather and violets. Gloriously 'meaty' taste. Smoky too. Such a fine texture and quite different from Faiveley's Echézeaux of the same year, which is less open. Mineral finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 92
