Description
Product Description: Grands Échezeaux Grand Cru 2022 channels the depth and precision of Pinot Noir from Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Drawn from the revered Grands Échezeaux vineyard in Flagey Échezeaux in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits, the wine reflects a season that delivered natural richness with firm structural definition. The fruit was harvested in early September at ideal ripeness, producing berries of concentration and clarity that shape a wine of gravitas and quiet intensity. It is an expression that feels anchored in its site, muscular in profile yet balanced by purity, freshness and a composed sense of power. The vineyard sits on deeper, denser soils than neighbouring Échezeaux, lending the wine a darker fruit spectrum and a more vertical, brooding architecture. Domaine de la Romanee Conti farms this parcel with focus on vine balance and soil vitality, ensuring measured yields and precise ripeness. In 2022, the site voiced its character with dark berry depth, fine savoury detail and a firmly coiled structure that will open gradually with time. Its density is matched by a velvety texture, revealing refinement within its muscular frame. Winemaking at the domaine respects the natural shape of the fruit. Gentle handling preserves aromatic integrity, allowing the wine to articulate complex layers of dark fruit, spice and mineral nuance. The 2022 Grands Échezeaux carries its concentration with composure, closing on a long, contemplative finish. Released in limited quantities, it is a Grand Cru built for extended ageing, shaped by patience, precision and an enduring connection to its origin.
