Echézeaux, Domaine de la Romanée Conti 2022

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Pinot Noir harvest concluded on 11-12 September with the 2022 Échézeaux Grand Cru, a fleshy and expressive wine that bursts with aromas of sweet dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of incense, orange zest, exotic spices and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and flamboyant, with a layered, juicy core of fruit, it concludes with a broad, sapid finish.

A crimson edge to the ruby colour. The 2022 Echezeaux shows a level of distinction over and above the Corton, a perfumed sensuality. Exquisitely graceful, still with a cherry top note, and an inflection of alpine strawberry. Only at the back of the palate comes the final peppery tingle from the whole bunch vinification. What a graceful flow! Drink from 2032-2048. Tasted May 2025.
